When planning a project or setting a deadline, knowing the exact number of working days between two dates is essential. A workday calculator accounts for weekends and public holidays, giving you an accurate count of actual working days.
How It Works
The calculator takes a start date and an end date, then subtracts: (1) All weekends (Saturdays and Sundays), and (2) Public holidays for your selected country. The result is the number of working days between those dates, inclusive of the start and end dates depending on your setting.
Common Use Cases
- Project timelines: How many working days to complete a project?
- Leave planning: How many workdays will you be out?
- Contract deadlines: How many business days remain before a deadline?
- Salary calculations: Prorating pay for partial months
- Travel planning: How many workdays are lost to a trip?
Country-Specific Holidays
Public holidays vary by country and year. Our calculator supports China, US, UK, Japan, and EU holiday calendars. Choose the right one to get accurate results. Some holidays fall on weekends, in which case they don't reduce the workday count.
Tips
- Always double-check the holiday calendar for your country and year
- Consider whether your start or end date should be inclusive
- For long-term projects, recalculate periodically as new holidays may be announced
