Count the number of business (working) days between two dates - automatically excluding weekends and public holidays for the country you select.
Enter a start date, end date, and select a country. The calculator counts every day in between, excluding Saturdays and Sundays (unless you choose to include them), and excludes official public holidays for that country using real holiday data.
A simple weekday count can overstate actual working days, since it does not account for public holidays. This calculator uses live holiday data so the result reflects real business days for the country and year you select.
A business day is typically Monday through Friday, excluding weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and public holidays for the country you select.
