Working Days Calculator – Exclude Weekends & Holidays
This Working Days Calculator shows how many business days fall between two dates. It can exclude weekends automatically and lets you remove custom holidays, so you can plan leave, projects, salaries, and deadlines more accurately.
Enter Your Dates
Enter extra off days (public holidays, company holidays) as comma-separated dates in YYYY-MM-DD format.
Method Used
- Total Calendar Days = End Date − Start Date + 1 (inclusive)

Notes

- Ideal if you follow a Monday–Friday work week or custom weekend rules.
- Works for any valid date after 1900 and handles leap years correctly.
