Working Days Calculator - Business Days Calculator

This working days calculator helps you determine how many business days are in any date range.

Examples
Example 1: Two-Week Leave Period
If you take leave from Monday, October 1 to Friday, October 12 (excluding weekends), you have 10 working days. With weekends excluded, this is 10 working days out of 12 calendar days.
Example 2: Month-Long Project
A project from January 1 to January 31 in the United States has 31 calendar days. Excluding weekends, that's 23 working days. If you also exclude New Year's Day, it becomes 22 working days.
Example 3: International Comparison
The same date range (October 1-31) in the United Kingdom might have different working days than the United States due to different public holidays. The UK has 8 bank holidays, while the US has 10 federal holidays.
How It Works
The Working Days Calculator (also called a Business Days Calculator) counts the number of days between two dates, then applies exclusions based on your selected options. It calculates both working days and business days - these terms are interchangeable and refer to the same thing.
Step-by-Step Process:
- Count all calendar days: The calculator first counts every day from the start date through the end date (inclusive).
- Exclude weekends (if enabled): If "Exclude weekends" is checked, Saturdays and Sundays are removed from the working days and business days count.
- Exclude public holidays (if enabled): If "Exclude public holidays" is checked and a country is selected, the calculator removes that country's public holidays from the count.
- Generate results: The calculator displays total calendar days, working days (business days), weekend days, and a list of excluded holidays (if applicable).
Use Cases:
- PTO Planning: Calculate how many working days and business days your vacation covers.
- Project Deadlines: Determine business days and working days available for project completion.
- Contract Terms: Calculate working days and business days for payment terms or delivery schedules.
- Leave Accrual: Understand how many business days and working days you'll work in a given period.
