Tell Holidaily how many vacation days you get this year, and it works out exactly where to spend them for the longest possible breaks. Public holidays fall where they fall. A few well-placed vacation days turn them into much longer time off β but finding the best combination across a whole year is genuinely hard by hand. Enter your budget. Holidaily checks every public holiday in your region, finds the cheapest way to bridge each one into a continuous run, and picks the combination that buys you the most time off within the days you actually have. You get a real plan: the exact days to request, the breaks they unlock, and an honest count of what is left over. Nothing is padded to make the number look bigger. Then put the plan to work. Your booked days and the breaks around them are marked on the month calendar β ready to add to your calendar app, export as an .ics file, or print as a wall calendar or year planner PDF.
