How to Use the Working Days Calculator

Features

Walks the calendar day by day counting weekdays (Mon–Fri), reports total days, weekend days and holidays deducted, plus the approximate working weeks.

Benefits & Use Cases

HR computes notice periods and leave balances, freelancers quote project timelines in workdays, and planners schedule around weekends.

Tips

The count is inclusive of both dates — a Monday-to-Friday range gives 5. Enter holidays you know fall inside the range for accuracy.
