Working Days Calculator

The working days calculator counts how many business days fall between two dates. It starts from the full span of days, removes every Saturday and Sunday, and then removes public holidays that land on a weekday, leaving the true number of working days.

Working days matter whenever a timeline is measured in business terms rather than calendar terms. Delivery and shipping estimates, service level agreements, payroll and leave calculations, notice periods, and legal or administrative deadlines are usually quoted in working days, because weekends and holidays are not counted. A simple calendar-day count would overstate how much working time there really is.

The result breaks the span down so you can see the whole picture: the total days in the range, how many were weekend days, how many were public holidays on weekdays, and the working days that remain. Both the start and end dates are included in the count, and if you enter them in the wrong order the calculator sorts them out and tells you the range was reversed.

Public holidays are loaded from a national holiday list, so a holiday that falls on a weekday is correctly excluded, while one that already lands on a weekend is not double-counted. To use it, choose a start date and an end date and press Count working days. Everything is computed in your browser.

If your calculation is specific to India, the working days calculator for India uses the Indian national holiday list, and the business days between dates page is a close companion for project timelines.

Every day in the range, including both endpoints, is checked. Saturdays and Sundays are removed, then public holidays that fall on a weekday are removed. A holiday already on a weekend is not counted twice. What remains is the working-day total.
