Business Days Calculator FAQs

What is a business days calculator?

A business days calculator shows the number of working days between two dates. Weekends are not counted as working days by the majority of business institutions, but they might be required to calculate how many working days there are between two dates.

It’s not always easy to work this out in your head, so to arrive at the answer quickly our calculators will make it easy for you to understand how much time is required. There are two separate calculators available here:

• The first calculator will tell you how many working days there are between two specific dates.
• The second calculator will give you the end date when you enter a starting date and the number of working days that you want to move forwards.

How many days between two dates?

This is exactly what our business days calculator helps you understand. Weekends don’t count as working days, so if you require 14 working days to carry out a task, this could take slightly longer than two weeks. Our tool makes it easy to work out how many days a job will take.

Not only this, but it also makes it very simple to work out when payments should be making their way to and from your bank account. You will find that not all companies and institutions count national holidays as non-working days. Use the business days calculation to show when you will be paid.

How to calculate the number of business days?

You can always do this manually. Here’s what to do:

1. Work out how many days a particular job will take.
2. Count the number of weekend days included in the job duration.
3. Add these weekend days onto the end of the predicted job end date.

This can be time consuming and complicated, especially for a job that has a completion time of weeks or even months.

To make it much simpler for you and to save a lot of time, you can use our business days calculators. All you need to do is enter the start date and the number of days your job will take. Click the ‘exclude weekends box’, and you will see the end date when only business days are counted.

Why do I need to calculate business days?

The reason that you need to calculate business days is because some people do not count them when working out how long a job will take.

The most common example of this is banking. When you’re making a payment or receiving a payment, often the bank will give you a number of days this is expected to take. This time will be given in working days. So, if you make a payment on a Friday and it will take 3 working days, the calculation doesn’t count Saturday and Sunday towards the total working days.

How should I use the business days calculator tool?

There are two specific ways to use the business days calendar calculator. The first is if you want to know how many business days are included between two dates. This is very useful if you want to bill a client for work you intend to carry out. You can then work out how many working days will be included between the time you start and the time you finish. From there, decide how much to charge.

The second way is if you want to know when you expect to finish work. If a job is likely to take 16 business days, then you can use the calendar to give the client a specific date that you intend to finish the job on, which is calculated only using working days for those 16 days.

Do you have other apps I can use?

Yes, we do. We have a fantastic range of different calculators that you are able to use, completely free of charge. We have calculators that make it easy for you to calculate the fees when sending money using different online payment methods. This will make it very simple for you to work out how much to charge a client without having to pay any transaction fees yourself.

On top of this we also have time cards and freelancing platform calculators. All of this will help you to manage your business without having to carry out any complex calculations yourself.

Use this working days calculator to easily calculate the number of business days (excluding weekends) between any two given dates or to add business days to a date. In the first mode it functions as a business days counter and in the second it estimates how long is N business days from today or any other date. Official holidays need to be counted separately based on your localized holiday calendar.

    Calculate how many business days are between two dates

If you wish to know how many work days you have until a job deadline, until retirement or even until your wedding, you simply need to enter the start date and the end date of the period you are interested in while in "Business days counter" mode. The result will show you all days until the said date excluding the weekends. You can also choose whether to include the last day of the period in the final calculation.

For example, if you have to deliver a project by Dec 1, 2022, enter that date in the "end date" field, and if you are starting from today, leave the "start date" field as it is by default. Click "Calculate" and you will get the number of work days you will have. This way you will know how many business days are available for you to complete the job. If you will only be available to work on that project from Nov 1 onwards, just enter that as a starting date instead.

This working days calculator counts as business days all days between Monday and Friday, regardless of whether they are holidays in some regions. Therefore, you need to be aware of your country’s holiday calendar and subtract the said amount of days from the final result.

Our business days calculator does not account for country-specific holidays, so if there are official holidays particular to your country or region, you need to account for that by manually subtracting the number of days with such holidays from the result you get from our calculator.

    How long is N business days from today?

Calculating which date would be after a given number of working days or how long is N business days from today in calendar days is another common use for our tool. For example, to calculate how long is 5 business days from today, that is to add 5 business days to a date, simply select "Add business days" mode and then enter five in the field for how many days to add. If you want to see which date is 7 business days from today, do the same, but enter seven. The tool will also count the number of calendar days N business days from today, essentially doubling as a day counter.

To work with a date different from today's, just change the "Start date" field's date to the one you are interested in. For example, to estimate how long is 10 business days from a date in the future, just enter that date as a start date field and enter 10 in the next input to perform the addition. Remember to add one day for each holiday during that time, e.g. New Year's Eve, Christmas, Easter and others, since while they are widely observed in certain countries, that is not the case in others.

Advanced tip: if you put a negative number in the "Add" field, that many weekdays will be subtracted from the start date!

    The business day and the week

A business day, also known as a working day, is any official work day. In most regions this includes the days between Monday and Friday (including). It excludes the weekend and official holidays in the given country; these can be religious or national holidays. There are about 20 business days in a month.

But why do we work from Monday to Friday in Western countries? And why is a week seven days?

Although it is widely believed that the idea of a seven day week comes from Babylon and is based on the Moon cycles, there are those who disagree. Some claim that the Jewish people had their own completely separate reasons for creating a similar way of dividing the month. In defense of the latter theory there seems to be evidence to suggest that Judaists used such seven days based cycles unrelated to the moon no later than the 6th century BC.

While we might never have a straight answer to how weeks were invented, where, when, and why; one thing is obvious – a large part of the world today uses weeks comprised of seven days, which also mark when the work days (also school days) and when the rest days are. This is usually applied alongside the Gregorian calendar, although not exclusively. What is also common between most countries is having two rest days in the week, although in different cultures it varies which days exactly those would be. In most of Western cultures the rest days are Saturday and Sunday, and the working days - Monday through Friday.

The two-day weekend was applied in the UK, US, and Canada by 1955. Multiple factors led to that and it took decades for the idea to be accepted by employers. The 40-hour work week only became the rule throughout Europe in the 70s, followed by the Middle East.

This calculator is not suitable for some countries, where the weekend starts on Friday and ends on Saturday, or where there is a one-day weekend.
