What days are excluded as weekends?

By default, this calculator excludes Saturdays and Sundays as weekend days. It does not exclude public holidays.

How can I exclude holidays?

This basic calculator only excludes weekends. For more advanced calculations involving specific holidays, use our 'Business Days Between Dates' calculator.

Are the start and end dates included?

The calculation is typically based on the full days between the two dates. For example, from Monday to Tuesday is one working day. Some interpretations may vary, but this is the standard method.

What if my start or end date is on a weekend?

The calculator will start counting on the next business day if the start date is a weekend, and stop counting on the previous business day if the end date is a weekend to ensure only full workdays are counted.

How the Working Days Calculator Works

This tool calculates the number of working days (typically Monday to Friday) between two dates, automatically excluding weekends. It's ideal for project planning, calculating work schedules, and determining the duration of tasks that only occur on weekdays.

How to Calculate Working Days: The Formula

The algorithm calculates the total days and then subtracts the number of weekend days (Saturdays and Sundays) that fall within the period.

Working Days = Total Days - Number of Weekend Days
