Count working days between two dates

Pick a date range, decide whether weekends should count, and add a country holiday calendar when you need a tighter estimate.

How it works

The logic iterates date by date from start to end, tracks total days, flags weekend dates, and checks holiday matches from built-in country rules.

Business-day output is the remaining set after exclusions.

Limitations: holiday rules are simplified and may not include all regional observances, one-off decrees, or company-specific non-working days.

Useful next tools

Are start and end dates included?

Yes, the range is inclusive.

Can I exclude weekends?

Yes. Enable the weekend exclusion checkbox.

Are holiday calendars complete?

They are practical defaults and should be validated for legal or payroll-critical processes.

Do business days differ between countries?

Yes. Weekends, public holidays, and even which days count as working days vary by country, which is why the holiday calendar filter matters.

How do bank holidays affect the count?

When a country calendar is selected, recognized bank holidays are excluded from the working-day total alongside weekends.

Can I use this for project deadline estimation?

Yes. Enter the project start date and a target end date to see how many actual working days are available, then adjust for holidays relevant to your team.
