Business Days Calculator
Calculate working days between two dates. Exclude public holidays and set weekend patterns for any country.
How to Calculate Business Days
Business days (also called working days) are the days of the week when most businesses operate. In most Western countries, this means Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays. However, different regions follow different patterns — some countries observe Friday and Saturday as the weekend, while others only take Sunday off.
Our business days calculator automatically handles all of this for you. Simply pick your start and end dates, select a country for holiday data, and choose the correct weekend pattern. The tool fetches live public holiday data and gives you an accurate count instantly.
What counts as a business day?
A business day is any weekday that is not a public holiday in the selected country. The default weekend pattern is Saturday & Sunday, but you can change this to match your region.
Does Daytics include bank holidays?
Yes. When you select a country, Daytics fetches that country's official public holidays using the Nager.Date API and excludes them from the working day count. You can also toggle holidays off if you only want to exclude weekends.
Which countries are supported?
Daytics supports over 100 countries including the UK (with regional holidays for England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland), US, Canada, Australia, India, and most European and Asian countries. The full list is loaded dynamically from the Nager.Date API.
Is the count inclusive of start and end dates?
Yes, both the start date and end date are included in the count if they fall on a working day.
Can I change the weekend pattern?
Yes. You can choose Saturday & Sunday, Friday & Saturday, or Sunday only — depending on the working week in your region.
