Questions
How do I make the most of my time off in 2027?
Spend vacation days on the workdays between a holiday and a weekend, so each one unlocks days you'd have off anyway. The best deals in Germany in 2027: Easter week, Mar 26 – Apr 4 (10 days off for 4 vacation days); Labour Day & Ascension Day week, May 1 – 9 (9 days off for 4 vacation days); Whit Monday week, May 15 – 23 (9 days off for 4 vacation days). The planner above finds every one of these for your allowance and puts them on your calendar.
What is a bridge day?
A workday stuck between a public holiday and a weekend. Take it off and one vacation day gets you four days off in a row.
How many days off can I get with 28 vacation days?
In 2027, around the 9 holidays most people in Germany get off: 10 vacation days become 31 days off, 28 vacation days become 77 days off, 33 vacation days become 92 days off. The exact number depends on the kind of breaks you pick and the holidays your employer gives.
What if my company's holidays are different?
Open "Holidays and weekend" to switch holidays on or off, or change which days are your weekend. Click any workday on the calendar to mark a day you already have off, like a company holiday or a shutdown week.
Is my plan saved anywhere?
Nothing is stored and there's no sign-up. The plan lives in the link in your address bar: bookmark it, or share it and whoever opens it sees the same plan.
Can I plan time off for my whole team?
This planner is for one person's year. If you manage a team, Forgot puts everyone's time off, public holidays and release dates on one calendar, so you see when too many people are out before it's a problem. It's free for 14 days, then a one-time payment.
