How are Business Days calculated?
Business days are normally Monday through Friday.
This calculator removes Saturdays and Sundays from
the selected date range.

Monday, 5 January 2026
End:
Friday, 9 January 2026
Include both dates:

Business Days:
5
Weekend Example:
Start:
Monday, 5 January 2026
End:
Sunday, 11 January 2026
Calendar Days = 7
Weekend Days = 2
Business Days =
5
Important:
Public holidays differ between countries, states and regions.
Therefore, this calculator does not automatically assume a
country's holiday calendar. Enter any holidays you want excluded.
If an entered holiday falls on Saturday or Sunday, it is not
subtracted twice. Only holidays that fall on an otherwise
counted Monday-Friday are included in "Holidays Excluded."
Vedicaly's Business Days Calculator helps calculate working days between selected dates according to the options provided by the calculator.
How to Use the Business Days Calculator
Select the start and end dates and choose any available options. The calculator will determine the applicable business-day result.
What is a business day?
A business day generally refers to a working day rather than a weekend, although working-week patterns and public holidays can vary by country and organization.
Are public holidays always excluded?
Not necessarily. Holiday treatment depends on the calculator's available settings and the applicable country or organization.
