How many weekend days are in one year?

Answer 1

There are 52 weeks and 1 day per year and an extra day in a leap year. This means that although there are 2 weekend days and 52 weeks making 104 weekend days, there will be times when the extra day or 2 per year could be weekend days especially if the year starts on a Saturday.

So, normally 104 weekend days but sometimes 105 or even as many as 106 depending on the day the year starts.

All years that start on a Monday, a Tuesday, a Wednesday or a Thursday and regular years that start on a Friday, which totals 67.75% of all years, have 104 weekend days each, 52 Sundays and 52 Saturdays.

All years that start on a Sunday, leap years that start on a Friday and regular years that start on a Saturday, which totals 29% of all years, have 105 weekend days each. The years that start on a Sunday have 53 Sundays and 52 Saturdays; the others have 52 Sundays and 53 Saturdays.

Leap years that start on a Saturday, which is 3.25% of all years, have 106 weekend days each, 53 Sundays and 53 Saturdays.
