Work & Salary
Working Days Calculator
Both dates are included. You choose which weekdays count, and you can list holidays or other dates to leave out. The calculator does not ship with a national holiday calendar, because those dates change and differ by country.
Calculator
How the number is produced
Walk every date from the start through the end. Calendar days are the count of those dates. Monday to Friday and weekend days ignore your checkbox and the holiday list. Working days are dates whose weekday you selected, minus any date you listed as a holiday or an exclusion.
Worked example
Monday 5 October 2026 through Friday 9 October 2026 is 5 calendar days. If Wednesday 7 October is a holiday, 4 working days remain.
When this is useful
A contract is priced by the working day, or a deadline is a date and you need the count of days you will actually be in.
Limits
No public-holiday database. Half-days are not a separate unit. The count is inclusive.
More on the assumptions is on how the calculators work.
Questions
Does it know bank holidays?
Only the dates you paste in. One date per line, as YYYY-MM-DD.
