How to use the bridge-day planner
Pick your country and the year you're planning. The tool walks through every public holiday for that country and looks at the weekend that surrounds it. Whenever taking 1, 2, 3 or 4 vacation days bridges the holiday into a longer block of consecutive days off, that's an opportunity — and we list it.
Each opportunity shows you the leverage: the ratio of total days off you receive to vacation days you spend. A leverage of 4× means you take 1 vacation day and get 4 consecutive days off. Anything above 2× is worth considering; anything above 3× is exceptional and books up fast — we recommend submitting your request to your employer early.
The planner is fully privacy-friendly: every calculation runs in your browser, no data is sent to a server, no signup is needed. Bookmarks the page so you can come back to plan future quarters.
