Calculate business days (weekdays excluding weekends) between dates or add/subtract business days from a date. Optionally exclude holidays based on regional calendars for accurate work schedule planning.
What Are Business Days?
Business days are weekdays (Monday through Friday) excluding weekends (Saturday and Sunday). Many professional settings, legal documents, contracts, and shipping services operate on business days rather than calendar days.
Why Calculate Business Days?
- Contract Deadlines: Legal documents often specify timeframes in business days
- Project Planning: Estimate completion dates based on working days
- Delivery Estimates: Shipping services usually operate on business days
- Payment Terms: Financial agreements often specify "Net-30 business days"
- Workflow Planning: Schedule tasks and milestones on working days
