What is the Business Days Calculator?
Count working days between two dates, skipping weekends and optional holidays.
It counts the Monday to Friday days from the start date to the end date, with an option to include or exclude the end date. You can then subtract a number of public holidays, and the result is also shown as business weeks of five days.
Hours, dates and records are small details that cause big arguments when they are missing. Keeping a clean log protects everyone involved.
