What it does
A working days calculator counts the days that are neither weekends nor public holidays. It is used for legal and contract deadlines, delivery times, payroll and project planning. Holidays depend on the country and, in Brazil, Germany, Spain, Australia and the United Kingdom, also on the state or region.
How to use it
- Choose the country and, if it applies, the state or region; change the weekend days if your working week is different.
- Enter two dates to count the working days between them, or a start date and a number of working days to find the final date.
- Check the holidays that fall in the period and the full list for the year.
Frequently asked questions
Are the start and end dates counted?
Yes, both dates count when they are working days. To count a deadline, tick the option to skip the start date: the count then begins on the next day, as most laws require.
How do I find the date that is a number of working days away?
Use the second calculator: it starts counting on the day after the start date, skips weekends and holidays, and shows which holidays were skipped. To go back in time, choose the backward direction.
How are China's weekend working days handled?
China moves working days to weekends around long holidays (调休). The calculator counts those Saturdays and Sundays as working days and marks them in the list. Bridge days that other governments add by decree appear once they are announced.
Are optional and regional holidays included?
National public holidays are always counted. Regional holidays are added when you choose a state or region, and optional holidays such as Carnival in Brazil only when you tick that option, because many companies work on those days.
