My experience with commercial CA is that they set the expiry exactly 1 year from creation. Doesn't matter if it's a week end or a holiday.

Generally that’s for Server certs, Roots and Intermediates will be multiple years from what I’ve seen. Roots in particular 10+ years.
1 Year is a relatively recent thing. Previously you were able to buy server certs with a 5 year expiration.
