Common questions

How does Vacation Maximizer work?
You enter your country, the year, and the number of vacation days you have. The tool analyzes public holidays and weekends to find bridge days, the working days between a holiday and a weekend, and calculates the optimal days to take off for maximum consecutive time off.
Is Vacation Maximizer free?
Yes, Vacation Maximizer is completely free to use. No account or signup required.
Which countries does Vacation Maximizer support?
Vacation Maximizer supports holidays for countries worldwide. Select your country from the location dropdown to automatically load the correct public holidays.
What is a bridge day?
A bridge day is a working day that falls between a public holiday and a weekend. Taking a bridge day off connects the holiday to the weekend, creating a longer consecutive stretch of days off. For example, if a holiday falls on a Thursday, taking Friday off as a bridge day gives you a 4-day weekend using just 1 PTO day.
