Good to know
The start date: is counted by default. Tick “Don’t count the start date” when a deadline starts the next day.
Holidays change every year: add them from your employer’s or government’s official list; we don’t add any on our own.
FAQ
How do I count business days between two dates?
Enter both dates; we drop the weekend days and the holidays you add, and show all days, weekend days and holidays too.
Are the start and end dates counted?
Yes, both, like NETWORKDAYS in Excel. You can leave the start date out.
What date is 10 business days from today?
Choose “Add business days” and type 10. The start day isn’t counted, so the result is the 10th working day after it.
Are public holidays added automatically?
No. Add your own in “Public holidays”; they stay in your browser for next time.
