Business Days Calculator
Count the working days between two dates, excluding weekends.
Business days, not just days
The number of working days between two dates is often what matters for deadlines and planning, and it is not simply the total days, since weekends do not count. This counts the working days between two dates, excluding weekends, so you can plan around the days that actually count.
Enter two dates to count the working days between them.
Why working days differ from calendar days
Deadlines, delivery estimates and project plans are usually stated in business days because work does not happen at weekends, so counting calendar days overstates the real time available. A gap that looks like ten days on the calendar might be only six or seven working days, which changes a deadline meaningfully. The calculation excludes weekends automatically, though a full picture also depends on public holidays, which vary by country and region and would reduce the count further. Understanding the difference between calendar and working days prevents the common planning error of assuming a deadline is further off than it really is, since the weekends in between are not time you can actually use.
