About this tool
Every date from the start to the end is checked. Weekend days are skipped, and so are the holidays you enter that fall on a working day. The tool does not know your country’s holidays, so add the ones that apply to you; official lists are published by governments.
Use it for delivery estimates, notice periods, project plans and payroll periods. For the total number of days, including weekends, use the Date Difference Calculator.
