Business Days Calculator

Count weekdays between two dates by excluding Saturdays and Sundays.

How to use

Run the calculation.
Compare the weekday count with the total calendar-day gap.

Capabilities and scope

This is a simple Monday-through-Friday working-day estimate. It deliberately does not depend on a country-specific public-holiday calendar.

How it works

The algorithm walks one calendar day at a time from the start toward the end and counts dates whose weekday is neither Saturday (6) nor Sunday (0). The start date is excluded; dates are tested after each step.

Example

From Friday to the following Monday, Saturday and Sunday are skipped and Monday contributes one weekday.
