Assumptions

  • Excludes Saturdays and Sundays only — public holidays are not excluded, since holiday calendars vary by country and region with no single authoritative source. Adjust the result manually for known holidays in your area.

Frequently asked questions

Does this exclude public holidays?

No — only Saturdays and Sundays are excluded. Public holidays vary by country, state, and year with no single authoritative source, so subtract known holidays from the result manually.

Are the start and end dates both included in the count?

Yes — if both fall on weekdays, they're each counted as one business day.

Is there a version of this with a different name?

See the Working Days Calculator for the exact same calculation under a different common search term.
