Business Days Calculator

The Business Days Calculator counts only Monday-to-Friday days between two dates, and lets you subtract a number of public holidays so the result matches how your office actually operates. It also converts the result into business hours at eight hours per day.

This is the tool to reach for when a contract says "10 business days", when you are estimating an SLA or delivery window, or when you need to know how many working days remain before a filing deadline. If your organisation works a non-standard week - for example Sunday to Thursday - the Working Days Calculator lets you choose exactly which days count.
