What counts as a business day
This counts every weekday from the start date to the end date, both included, and skips Saturdays and Sundays. It is the quick way to see the working days you have for a deadline, a delivery window or a notice period.
Holidays are not included
Public holidays vary by country and even by region, so they are not subtracted here; if a bank holiday falls in your range, take one more day off the total. For a plain day count including weekends, the date difference tool has it covered.
