Days treated as weekend

Method

How this tool works

For counting, the start date is excluded and the end date is included. Adding or subtracting starts with the following or previous calendar day and skips selected weekends and exact holiday dates.

Worked example

Five business days after Friday 24 July 2026 is Friday 31 July when Saturday and Sunday are weekends and no holidays are entered.

Assumptions & limitations

Public holidays are not inferred because rules vary by country, region and employer. Enter every relevant holiday as an ISO date and verify contractual deadlines independently.
