How to use this calculator

Inputs explained
- Start date
- Year, month, and day where counting begins.
- Business days

- Default skips Saturday/Sunday; switch to include if you operate 7 days a week.
How it works
We move forward one day at a time and only count Monday–Friday unless you choose to include weekends.
Holiday support is on the roadmap; for now add an extra day manually if a holiday falls inside your range.
Formula
Business date = Start date + N weekdays
When to use it
- Calculating invoice due dates with net terms that exclude weekends.
- Planning follow-ups or service tickets for weekday-only teams.
- Working back from a deadline in business days instead of calendar days.
Tips & cautions
- Enter a negative business-day value to count backward to a start date.
- If you need holidays excluded, subtract them manually until holiday calendars are supported.
- For full calendar-day counting, use the Add Days calculator instead.
- Holiday skipping isn’t built-in yet; handle them manually.
- Weekend definition is fixed to Saturday/Sunday; regions with different weekends aren’t configurable.
- Assumes the Gregorian calendar and local timezone.
Worked examples
Include weekends
- Set ‘Count weekends’ to Yes if you’re dealing with 7-day support teams.
Deep dive
This business days calculator adds or subtracts weekdays from a start date while skipping weekends. Enter your start date, number of business days, and choose whether weekends count to get the exact due date.
Perfect for invoices, follow-ups, and project schedules when only Monday–Friday matters. Holidays aren’t skipped yet, so add extra days manually for regional holidays.
