Frequently asked questions

How do I count business days between two dates?
Choose a start and end date and the calculator counts only Monday through Friday between them, skipping Saturdays and Sundays. It also shows the total calendar days and the number of weekend days for comparison.
Does it account for public holidays?
This calculator excludes weekends but not public holidays, since those vary by country and region. Subtract any holidays in your range manually for an exact working-day count.
How can I track work deadlines on my iPhone?
The Monthly Calendar Widgets week and month widgets keep your upcoming workdays and deadlines on your Home Screen, synced with your iOS and Google calendars so nothing slips.
