Use this free working day counter to count the business days between two dates, skipping Saturdays and Sundays. This business day counter is handy for deadlines, delivery estimates, notice periods, and project planning.
Both the start and end date are included. Weekends are skipped; public holidays are not.
A business days counter counts only the weekdays between two dates, Monday through Friday, and skips Saturdays and Sundays. That matters whenever a timeline is measured in working days rather than calendar days — shipping and delivery estimates, payment and notice periods, service-level deadlines, and project schedules are almost always quoted this way.
This tool counts both the start and end date when they fall on a weekday, the same way a spreadsheet's NETWORKDAYS function does, and also shows the total number of calendar days and how many of them were weekend days. It does not remove public holidays, because those differ from one country and region to the next, so if a holiday falls inside your range, subtract it from the business-day total.
