Note
This is a simplified model: it uses fixed conversions (60 minutes per hour, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year) and ignores leap years, daylight saving changes, public holidays and irregular month lengths. Check the result against a real calendar before relying on it.

How does the calculator determine working days in a period?+
It counts the total calendar days between two dates and subtracts weekends (and holidays, if specified), leaving only the days considered standard business days, typically Monday through Friday.
Are public holidays automatically excluded?+
Only if you provide a holiday list or the calculator has one built in for your region; holidays differ by country and even by state or company, so unlisted holidays won't be automatically subtracted.
Why might my working-day count differ from a colleague's?+
Different regions and industries define the work week differently — some countries work Sunday to Thursday, and some companies observe additional company-specific holidays — so the definition of 'working day' used matters.
Does the calculation include the start and end date?+
Most working-day calculators treat both the start and end dates as inclusive if they fall on weekdays, so check the specific convention used if you need an exact count for something like a contract deadline.
What is this commonly used for?+
It's widely used to estimate project delivery timelines, calculate paid time off usage, or determine shipping and processing windows that only count business days.
