How it works

The calculator counts every Monday through Friday between your start and end dates. Saturdays and Sundays are excluded. The start date is included in the count, but the end date is not (following standard business convention).

Note: Public holidays are country-specific and not excluded automatically. Subtract them manually if needed for your region.

FAQ

Does this exclude public holidays?

No. Only Saturdays and Sundays are excluded. Public holidays vary by country and region, so they are not removed automatically. You can subtract them from the total manually.

Is the start date included?

Yes. The start date counts as day 1 if it falls on a weekday. The end date is not included.

How are work hours calculated?

Work hours assume an 8-hour work day (standard in most countries). Multiply work days by 8.
