Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between business days and calendar days?
Calendar days count every single day including weekends and holidays. Business days only count working days (typically Monday-Friday) and exclude weekends and holidays. For example, "5 calendar days" from Friday could end on Tuesday, but "5 business days" from Friday would end the following Friday.
Do business days include Saturdays or Sundays?
No, standard business days exclude both Saturdays and Sundays. However, some businesses operate on Saturdays - in these cases, you can use our weekend day count and adjust manually based on your specific schedule.
How do I handle public holidays in different countries?
Enter the number of public holidays that fall within your date range in the "Holidays" field. Different countries have different public holidays, so check your local holiday calendar. For international projects, use the holidays from the country where the work is being performed.
What if a holiday falls on a weekend?
If a public holiday falls on a weekend day that's already excluded, don't count it as an additional holiday in the calculator since that day wouldn't be a business day anyway. Only count holidays that fall on weekdays (Monday-Friday).
Can I calculate business days for very long periods?
Yes, our calculator works for any date range - from a few days to several years. It automatically handles leap years, varying month lengths, and other calendar complexities.
