Work Days Calculator
Pick a start and end date to count the number of weekdays (business days) and weekend days between them.
Counts Monday-Friday as work days and Saturday-Sunday as weekend days. Public holidays aren't excluded, since they vary by country and region.
How work days are counted
This calculator steps through every calendar day between your start and end dates (inclusive) and classifies each one as either a weekday (Monday through Friday) or a weekend day (Saturday or Sunday).
It doesn't exclude public holidays, since these vary widely by country, region, and even employer — if you need to exclude specific holidays, subtract them manually from the work days total shown here.
Frequently asked questions
Does this calculator account for public holidays?
No — it only excludes Saturdays and Sundays. Public holidays differ by country and organization, so you'll need to subtract any that apply to your situation separately.
Does the count include both the start and end date?
Yes, both the start date and end date are included in the count if they fall within the range being measured.
How is this different from the date difference calculator?
The date difference calculator counts every calendar day; this calculator specifically separates that count into weekdays and weekend days.
