How working days are counted
The calculator checks each date from the start up to, but not including, the end date. Monday through Friday count as working days; Saturday and Sunday do not.
Working-days example
Monday to the following Monday contains five working days and two excluded weekend days.
What to know
- The end date is excluded to match elapsed-date counting.
- Public and regional holidays are not excluded.
