About working days calculator
Deadlines, delivery times and notice periods are often counted in working days, not calendar days. This calculator counts days between two dates excluding weekends.
What to remember
- Public holidays are not excluded, so subtract any that fall in the range.
- Check whether your organisation counts Saturday as a working day.
- Decide whether the start and end dates themselves are included.
A worked example
March 2026 has 31 days, and starts on a Sunday. It has 5 Sundays and 4 Saturdays, so there are 22 weekdays. If one public holiday falls on a weekday, the month has 21 working days.
Uses
- Counting delivery days that exclude weekends.
- Working out notice periods and payment terms.
- Planning project schedules.
Holidays and local rules
Public holidays differ by state and company. Count them separately and subtract them from the result. Some businesses also work on Saturdays, so adjust the result if yours does.
