Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a business day?

Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding weekends (Saturday and Sunday). You can also add custom holidays that fall on weekdays to exclude them, such as public holidays or company-specific days off.

Does this account for regional holidays?

No. This calculator does not include a built-in holiday calendar. You must manually add any holidays you want to exclude. This gives you full control to account for your specific region, country, or company holidays.

How does the Add/Subtract mode work?

It calculates a date that is N business days before or after a given date. It skips weekends and any added holidays, counting only Monday-Friday working days. For example, 5 business days after Monday is the following Monday (skipping one weekend).

Does it count the start date?

In "Count Between Dates" mode, both the start and end dates are included in the count. In "Add / Subtract" mode, the start date is not counted — the calculation adds or subtracts the specified number of business days from the start date.
