Calculations verified 2026-11-06. Default examples below assume a Monday–Friday workweek (Saturday–Sunday rest days) and that listed public holidays are non-working days; use the interactive planner to switch to a 4-day Mon–Thu, Sun–Thu or Tue–Sat workweek.
Compare a standalone long weekend (3–5 days), a one-week break (6–9 days) and an extended break (10–16 days). Each card is an independent single-break option ranked by total days off per leave day booked.

Leave-year boundary rule: When a December/January break crosses calendar years, check whether your employer deducts January workdays from your 2027 carry-over or your 2028 leave allowance.
Unlike the standalone single-break alternatives above, the schedules below optimize a combined, non-overlapping full-year plan across 2027 for a 10-day versus a 20-day bookable leave allowance.
10 of 10 leave days used across 5 non-overlapping breaks · 0 leave days unused · 7 workday public holidays leveraged.
Unused allowance: All 10 leave days in your allowance are allocated across non-overlapping holiday bridges.
Leave-year boundary: all 10 booked leave days fall within calendar year 2027 (check whether your employer leave year runs Jan–Dec, Apr–Mar or May–Apr).
Open this 10-day schedule in the planner (export .ics or copy HR summary) →19 of 20 leave days used across 8 non-overlapping breaks · 1 leave day unused · 9 workday public holidays leveraged.
Unused allowance: Why 1 leave day remains unused: every weekday public-holiday cluster in this 2027 calendar has already been bridged across its adjacent weekends (any remaining holidays fall on rest days). Use this day for standalone summer vacation or personal time.
Leave-year boundary: all 19 booked leave days fall within calendar year 2027 (check whether your employer leave year runs Jan–Dec, Apr–Mar or May–Apr).

Compare active and upcoming year holiday tables and worked date combinations for Austria:
Statutory paid annual leave baseline: 5 weeks (25 days on a 5-day week). Statutory annual leave is distinct from public holidays: public holidays are calendar dates designated by law or collective agreement, whereas annual leave is your personal bookable allowance.
These examples use Austria’s 13 statutory national public holidays under the Arbeitsruhegesetz. State patron-saint days (which mainly affect schools and state offices) and collective-agreement half-days on 24 and 31 December are not assumed off. Weekend public holidays do not shift to Monday in Austria.
