Frequently asked questions
Are public holidays excluded?
No — this counts Monday–Friday only. Public holidays vary by country and even by state, so subtract them for your own calendar: a typical US year loses 9–11 more days to federal holidays.
Why do years differ by a day?
365 days = 52 weeks + 1 day, so each common year shifts weekdays forward by one (two after a leap year). Depending on where those extra days land, a year has 260, 261 or 262 weekdays.
How do I count business days between two dates?
Use the business days calculator: it counts Monday–Friday days between any two dates, inclusive of both endpoints.
