What is the Work Days Calculator?
The Work Days Calculator counts the number of working (business) days between two dates, automatically excluding Saturdays and Sundays. It also lets you list specific holiday dates to exclude from the count, useful for calculating project timelines, leave entitlements, contract deadlines, or payroll periods that need to account for public holidays. The results break down the total calendar days in the range alongside how many were weekends, holidays, and actual working days.
How to use it
Pick a start date and an end date. Optionally, list any holiday dates to exclude, one per line in YYYY-MM-DD format. Click 'Calculate working days' to see the total working days alongside a breakdown of weekend days and excluded holidays within the range.
