Frequently asked questions

Does it count both the first and last day?

It counts the difference: from Monday to Tuesday is 1 day. For inclusive counting (both endpoints), add 1.

Are public holidays excluded from working days?

No โ€” only weekends. Holidays differ by country, so subtract your local ones from the working-day figure.

Can the end date be before the start?

Yes โ€” the count works in either direction; the total is shown as a positive number.
