The “business days” version of counting time between dates — excludes Saturdays and Sundays.

How it works

Every calendar day between the two dates (inclusive) is checked, and Saturdays and Sundays are excluded from the count.

What this does not include

This does not include public holidays — which days count as a holiday varies by country and region, so only weekends are excluded here.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the start and end dates.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the site’s time-between-dates calculator?

That one counts every calendar day; this one specifically excludes weekends, giving the business-day count instead.

Why doesn’t this exclude public holidays?

Holiday calendars vary significantly by country and even by organization, so there’s no single universal list this calculator could apply correctly for everyone.

Are both the start and end dates included in the count?

Yes — if both fall on weekdays, they’re both counted as working days.

The aim is a page that answers the question in the first screen and explains the method underneath for anyone who wants it. Simple topics still deserve a stated method.

Practical pages still need their method stated, and review confirms it is there.
