Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a business day?

A business day is typically any weekday — Monday through Friday — that is not a public holiday. By default, Saturday and Sunday are excluded. You can customize which days are counted as working days using the weekday checkboxes.

Are weekends automatically excluded?

Yes. Saturday and Sunday are excluded by default. If your work schedule includes Saturday or Sunday, you can check those boxes to include them in the business day count.

Which holidays are excluded when I check 'Exclude Public Holidays'?

When enabled, the calculator excludes common US federal holidays including New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Dates that fall on a weekend are adjusted to the nearest weekday.

Does the calculator include the start and end dates in the count?

Yes. Both the start date and the end date are included in the calculation if they fall on a working day. If either falls on a weekend or holiday, it is not counted as a business day.

Can I use this for project deadline planning?

Absolutely. Enter your project start date and deadline as the end date to find out how many working days you have available. You can also adjust the working days to reflect your team's actual schedule.

What if my start date is after my end date?

The calculator will return zero business days if the start date is after the end date. Make sure your start date comes before your end date for a valid result.

How do I calculate business days for a non-standard work week?

Use the working day checkboxes to uncheck any days that are not part of your work week. For example, if you work Sunday through Thursday, uncheck Friday and Saturday, then check Sunday.

Is this calculator useful for legal or contractual deadlines?

Yes. Many contracts specify delivery or response times in business days. This calculator helps you determine the exact deadline by counting only working days from a given start date.
