Frequently Asked Questions
Does this include holidays?
No. The calculator only skips weekends. Holidays must be tracked separately.
Is the end date included?
Yes. Both start and end dates are inclusive in the calculation.
What happens if the dates are the same?
If it's a weekday, the count is 1. If it's a weekend, the count is 0.
Can I calculate backward?
Yes, as long as the end date is after the start date. The logic loops forward only.
What is considered a business day?
Any weekday from Monday to Friday, excluding Saturday and Sunday.
