What counts as a working day?

The standard business definition is Monday through Friday — weekends excluded, both endpoint dates included. A full week contributes 5 working days, so a 30-day month typically contains 21-22.

Public holidays are deliberately not subtracted: they vary by country, region and year. Get the weekday count here, then subtract the holidays that fall on weekdays in your location — the method payroll and project managers actually use.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a working day?
Monday through Friday. Saturdays and Sundays are excluded. Both the start and end date are included in the count.
Are public holidays excluded?
No — holidays differ by country and region, so subtract the public holidays that fall on weekdays in your location from the result.
What if my weekend is Friday–Saturday?
This calculator assumes a Saturday–Sunday weekend. For Friday–Saturday weekends, the weekday count will differ by the number of Fridays and Sundays in the range.
