How are business days calculated?

Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding Saturday and Sunday. The calculator counts each weekday between the start and end dates. This is useful for project planning, SLA calculations, and work schedules.

Does it include the start and end dates?

Yes, both the start and end dates are included in the count. For example, from June 1 to June 3 counts as 3 days (June 1, 2, and 3). This follows standard date range conventions.

Does it account for holidays?

No, the calculator only excludes weekends (Saturday and Sunday). Public holidays are not automatically excluded because they vary by country and region. For accurate business day counts, manually subtract known holidays from the result.

How does the countdown timer work?

The countdown shows the time remaining until the target date from the current moment. It displays days, hours, minutes, and seconds, and updates in real-time. Use it for event planning, deadlines, or special occasions.

Can I calculate dates in the past?

Yes. The calculator works with any dates, past or future. For past dates, it shows the duration between those dates. The countdown timer shows 0 for past dates since the event has already occurred.

Is my date data sent to a server?

No. All calculations happen entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your dates and results are never transmitted over the network. The tool works offline after the page loads.
