How Many Days Until Easter Sunday 2028?

Easter Sunday 2028 is Sunday, 16 April 2028

There are 597 days between 28 August 2026 and Easter Sunday 2028, which falls on Sunday, 16 April 2028. That is 85 weeks and 2 days, or 406 working days once Saturdays, Sundays and the US federal holidays in between are taken out — the figure that matters if you are counting delivery lead time or a work schedule rather than sleeps. The date is 2028-04-16 in ISO form and 4/16/2028 in the US format, it falls in ISO week 15 of 2028, and it is day 107 of 366.

How the date of Easter Sunday is decided

Easter is the first Sunday after the first ecclesiastical full moon falling on or after 21 March, calculated by the anniversary computus. This puts it between 22 March and 25 April. Eastern Orthodox Easter uses the Julian calendar for the same rule and usually falls on a different date.

That makes it a computed date: there is no fixed day and no simple weekday rule, so it has to be worked out from a formula or a calendar of its own each year. In 2028 it works out as Sunday 16 April.

Easter Sunday is an observance rather than a federal holiday. Offices, banks and schools stay open unless an individual employer chooses otherwise, and it counts as an ordinary business day in every calculator here. Only the eleven federal holidays are treated as non-working days — the list and the reasoning are on the holiday sources page.

Both the date and the weekday move, because the rule is not tied to either.

Every convention used above — whether the start date counts, how month ends are clamped, which holidays close an office — is written out on the methodology page, including how we count the 406 working days above.
