Nth Weekday of the Month Calculator

About Nth Weekday of the Month Calculator

Many dates are set as "the nth weekday of a month". The UK spring bank holiday is the last Monday in May, US Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November, UK clocks change on the last Sunday of March and October, and clubs and councils often meet on the second Tuesday. The calendar date changes from year to year, so you have to work it out each time. This calculator gives it in one step.

Choose first to fifth or last, a day of the week, a month and a year. Choose every month to get the date for all twelve months at once, which is useful for a regular meeting or a rota. A fifth weekday does not exist in every month, and the page says so rather than giving a wrong date. Dates are in the Gregorian calendar.
