How the Working Days Calculator Works
This working days calculator determines the number of business days between two dates by excluding weekends and optional public holidays.
Each day in the selected range is checked to see whether it falls on a weekday or weekend. Saturdays and Sundays are automatically excluded, and any public holidays you enter will also be removed from the total.
Example Calculation
Start date: January 1, 2026
End date: January 10, 2026
Total days: 10
Weekend days removed: 3
Working days remaining: 7 business days
