v1.0 · Reviewed September 2026

How this is worked out

Every date from the start to the end is counted, including both ends, and any day falling on a Saturday or Sunday is excluded from the working day total.

Worked example

  • Start 1 September 2026
  • End 30 September 2026

30 days in the range, of which 8 fall at weekends

22 working days

Assumptions and limits

  • Public and bank holidays are not deducted, so subtract any that fall in your range.
  • A working week of Monday to Friday is assumed.
  • An end date before the start date returns no answer rather than a negative one.
