How It Works
Count the days that matter.
A working-days calculation starts with the full calendar date range, then excludes the weekly days off you select and any additional holidays that fall on otherwise working days.
02 / WEEKENDS
Set your workweek
Choose Saturday and Sunday, Sunday only, Friday and Saturday, or no weekly days off to match your usual schedule.
03 / HOLIDAYS
Add specific holidays
Optionally enter public or company holiday dates. A holiday only reduces the working-day count when it falls on a working day within your selected range.
Working days formula
Working Days = Calendar Days − Weekend Days − Additional
Working-Day Holidays
The calculator counts each date in the selected range once. Additional holidays that fall on weekends are already excluded as weekend days, so they are not deducted again. Dates outside the selected period have no effect on the result.

Frequently Asked Questions
Working Days Calculator FAQs.
A few important details about how the calculation works.
Are the start date and end date included?
Yes. The calculator includes both dates. If both dates are the same, the range contains one calendar day. That date counts as a working day only if it is not excluded by your weekend schedule or an additional holiday.
Does the calculator automatically exclude public holidays?
No. Public holidays vary by country, state, organization, and year. Enable the holiday option and add the dates relevant to your schedule. The calculator does not automatically retrieve an official holiday calendar.
Can I calculate working days for a Friday–Saturday weekend?
Yes. Select “Friday and Saturday” from the weekend schedule. Sundays through Thursdays will then count as working days, unless an added holiday excludes a date.
What happens when a holiday falls on a weekend?
The date is counted as a weekend day and is not deducted a second time as a holiday. This avoids double-counting the same excluded date.
Can I use this calculator for payroll or leave calculations?
You can use it for preliminary planning. Payroll, paid leave, overtime, attendance, and statutory working-day rules can differ by employer and jurisdiction. Verify the relevant policies before making official calculations.
Can I save or share the result?
Yes. Use “Copy Summary” to copy the calculation details, or select “Print / Save PDF” to open your browser's print dialog. From there, you can print the summary or choose a PDF destination if your browser supports it.
