Business Days Calculator — FAQs

Does it exclude public holidays?

Weekends only, by default — holidays vary by state and country. Add custom holiday dates to exclude them too.

What weekend patterns are supported?

Saturday–Sunday (most of India), Friday–Saturday (Gulf), and Sunday-only (many Indian businesses).

How is this used for notice periods?

A ‘30-day’ notice is calendar days; a ‘one month’ handover in working terms is ~22 days. Clarify which your offer letter means.

Can I count backwards?

Yes — swap the dates to count working days elapsed, e.g. for SLA tracking.
