Count the weekend days or full weekends between two dates.
Counting the weekends
The number of weekend days between two dates is useful for all sorts of planning, and it is not simply worked out from the total days. This counts the weekend days, or full weekends, in a date range.
Enter two dates to count the weekends between them.
Why weekends are worth counting separately
Weekend days are the counterpart to working days, and counting them answers a different set of questions: how many free days a trip spans, how many Saturdays and Sundays fall in a month, or how much leisure time a period actually contains. Together with a working-days count, it splits a date range into work time and free time, which is genuinely useful for planning both projects and rest. The count depends on which days you treat as the weekend, which is usually Saturday and Sunday but varies in some parts of the world where the weekend falls on different days. Whether you are planning leisure around the free days or simply curious how many weekends lie ahead before an event, counting them directly is quicker and more reliable than trying to work it out from the calendar.
