Business Days Calculator
About the Business Days Calculator
Bank settlement calendars skip weekends and public holidays, legal notice periods ignore court closures, and regional teams observe Friday-Saturday weekends instead of Saturday-Sunday. A plain weekday counter is not enough when your jurisdiction publishes a holiday list or your company runs Middle East hours. This business days calculator counts days between two dates while excluding whichever weekend days you check-typically Saturday and Sunday, but you can adapt-and any holidays you paste one-per-line in YYYY-MM-DD format. Toggle inclusive end day when contracts count the final date inside the period.
How to use it
- Enter start and end dates for the period.
- Check which days count as weekend non-working days.
- Paste holidays one per line in YYYY-MM-DD format.
- Enable Include end day if your policy counts the last date.
- Click Count business days and review skipped holiday tally.
- Copy the result into contracts, finance sheets, or tickets.
Good to know
Results are calendar math from the dates you enter. Business-day tools skip weekends when they say so. They do not know local holidays unless the page says they do.
