Working days calculator
Weekdays (Mon–Fri)
Pick a start and end date on the calendar.
Both dates count if they fall on a weekday. Weekends are skipped. Holidays are not subtracted in this version.
Key takeaways
- Weekday-only counts match how many teams talk about lead times, not raw calendar days.
- Native date pickers on phones reduce typing errors compared to free-form text fields.
- Inclusive counting matches how people usually read “from Monday to Friday this week”.
- Holidays are a policy choice — we kept v1 honest and simple without a country database.
- Use alongside Jobber or Housecall Pro scheduling — this page does not write to your account.

Frequently asked questions
Do you count public holidays?
Not in this version. Only Saturdays and Sundays are excluded. If you need jurisdiction-specific holidays for payroll or legal deadlines, export dates to a calendar tool or spreadsheet that ships a holiday table for your region.
Are the start and end dates inclusive?
Yes for weekdays. If both bounds land on Monday through Friday, each qualifying day in the span is counted once. If you need exclusive end dates, subtract one weekday manually or ask us to add a toggle later.
Why use noon local time internally?
Parsing date-only fields at midday avoids common off-by-one errors around daylight saving and timezone edges when the browser constructs a Date from a plain date string.
Can I use this for SLA math?
It is a quick sanity check for business-day spans. For contractual SLAs you should still confirm calendar definitions with your counsel or customer, especially when holidays matter.
