Business days calculator
Count the working days, Monday to Friday, between two dates. Leave the box ticked to skip the 11 US federal holidays on the days they are observed.
What counts as a business day
A business day here is a weekday, Monday to Friday, that is not a US federal holiday. The start date is not counted and the end date is; tick "Count the start date too" to count both.
When a federal holiday falls on a Saturday, most federal employees observe it on the Friday before. When it falls on a Sunday, it is observed on the Monday after. The calculator skips the observed day. The rule and the holiday list are from the US Office of Personnel Management. Holiday dates in the calculator run from 2021 to 2036.
Banks, courts, schools and private employers set their own closing days, and state holidays are not included. Check with the organization when a deadline depends on it.
