Calculate Business Days: Set Deadlines & Track Durations 💼

Skip the manual calendar counting. Whether you’re setting payment terms or planning project milestones, this tool handles the math for you. Add business days to any date or instantly calculate the net working days between two points.

💡 How it Works

A "10-business-day" turnaround often spans more than two weeks. This tool streamlines your project management by allowing you to:

  • Set Deadlines: Find the exact date after adding or subtracting a specific number of working days.
  • Track Productivity: Measure the total working days between two dates to better estimate labor and timelines.
  • Customize Weekends: Adjust for global work cultures by selecting which days to include or exclude from your work week.

📘 Pro-Tips

  • Define Due Dates: Quickly determine the "final notice" or "payment due" date for invoices and deliverables.
  • Exclude Custom Holidays: Since holidays vary by country and company, paste your specific list of dates (YYYY-MM-DD) to remove them from the count.
  • Audit Your Logic: The tool generates a list of every skipped date (weekends and holidays) so you can verify the calculation against your local calendar.

🧐 Frequently Asked Questions

Does it include public holidays automatically? No. To ensure 100% accuracy across different regions and corporate schedules, holidays are not pre-loaded. Please input your specific local or company holidays in the text area provided.

Can I count Saturdays as business days? Yes. Simply uncheck the "Saturday" box in the settings to include it in your calculation.

Does it handle leap years? Yes. The tool accurately accounts for leap years and varying month lengths.

📚 Trivia: The Global Work Week

Work schedules aren't universal. Here’s how business days differ around the world:

  1. The Weekend: While Western markets typically use a Saturday-Sunday weekend, countries like Israel operate on a Sunday–Thursday work week.
  2. Bank Holidays: In the UK, public holidays are called "Bank Holidays," originating from the era when bank closures effectively halted all commercial trade.
  3. T+2 Settlement: In finance, "T+2" refers to "Transaction date plus 2 business days"—the standard window for many stock trades to settle.
