How to Use the Business Days Calculator

Our free Business Days Calculator makes it incredibly easy to determine exactly how many working days exist between two dates. Whether you are estimating shipping logistics, planning a project timeline, or calculating payroll, this tool automatically removes weekends and live public holidays from your total count.

Step-by-Step Guide:

• Select Your Dates: Choose your starting date and ending date from the calendar inputs.
• Choose a Country (Optional): If you want to automatically deduct official government holidays, select the relevant country from the dropdown. The tool will ping a live API to fetch the exact public holidays for your chosen years.
• Set Your Weekend Type: Not all countries take Saturday and Sunday off! You can customize your calculation to remove standard weekends, Middle Eastern weekends (Friday & Saturday), or single-day weekends.
• Calculate: Click the blue button to get a full breakdown of total calendar days, weekend days removed, public holidays deducted, and your final Business Days total.

Data Accuracy Disclaimer

The public holiday data provided by this tool is sourced from the live, open-source Nager.Date API. While highly accurate for fixed-date national holidays, certain regional, state-specific, or lunar-based religious holidays may not be universally reflected. If a public holiday falls directly on a weekend, this calculator will classify it as a "Weekend Day" rather than double-deducting it from your business days total. Always verify crucial contract dates with your local legal or HR department.
