Keeping track of business days for projects, payroll, legal matters, and scheduling is important.

A Business Days Calculator makes it easier to calculate working days between two dates or exclude weekends and holidays.

Think of it as a productivity planner—helping you determine the exact number of business days in a given time frame.

How to Use the Business Days Calculator?

Using a Business Days Calculator is simple and efficient. Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ Enter the Start Date and End Date – Input the dates you want to calculate business days between.
2️⃣ Choose whether to include the end date – Decide if the final date should be part of the calculation.
3️⃣ Set Weekend Preferences – Choose from options like:

• Exclude All Weekends (Saturday & Sunday)
• Exclude Only Sundays
• Include All Days
• Custom Days (Select specific non-working days)
• Exclude Specific Dates (Holidays or custom non-business days)
  4️⃣ Calculate Duration – Instantly get the total number of business days between the selected dates.

💡 Bonus Tip: This calculator can track payroll cycles, delivery timelines, and legal deadlines efficiently.

How to Manually Calculate Business Days?

If you ever need to count business days manually, follow these steps:

Step 1: Identify the Date Range

Determine the start and end dates of your calculation.

Step 2: Count the Total Days

Subtract the start date from the end date to get the total days.

Step 3: Remove Weekends

If your workweek follows a Monday-Friday schedule:

• Remove Saturdays and Sundays from the total count.
• If your company only excludes Sundays, remove those instead.

Step 4: Account for Holidays and Non-Business Days

If there are public holidays or custom non-working days, subtract those from the total.

Example Calculation

• Start Date: March 1st, 2025
• End Date: March 10th, 2025
• Total Days: 10 days
• Removing weekends (March 2nd & 9th): 8 business days
• Removing a public holiday (March 4th): 7 business days
• Final Count: 7 Business Days

Instead of doing this manually every time, a Business Days Calculator gives you the result instantly.
