How business days are counted

A business day is a day on which businesses normally work: Monday to Friday in most of the world, minus public holidays. “N business days from today” starts counting with the next business day and steps over every weekend day and holiday until N working days have passed. Today itself is never counted, even when it is a working day, so 1 business day from a Monday is Tuesday and 1 business day from a Friday is the following Monday.

Because two of every seven days are skipped, business days stretch further than calendar days: 5 business days are a full calendar week, 10 are two weeks, and 30 business days are six weeks, or more if holidays fall in between. Skipping weekends only, 30 business days from today is Tuesday, December 15, 2026.

Holidays make the difference

Weekends are the same for everyone in a country, but public holidays are not the same everywhere, and they move the answer. A worked example: 10 business days from Friday, December 18, 2026.

The calculator holds the national public holidays of 18 countries and states, taken from official government lists for 2026 to 2028: United States (federal), Canada (federal), England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Australia (national days), New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, New Zealand (national days), South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, France (national days), Spain (national days), Germany (federal day only). Where the law moves a holiday that falls on a weekend to a weekday (the US “observed” day, UK substitute bank holidays, Mondayised holidays in New Zealand and Australia), the substitute weekday is skipped. Outside the covered years, the count skips weekends only and says so.

Weekends differ between countries

Saturday and Sunday is the most common weekend, but not the only one. In Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and several other countries the weekend is Friday and Saturday, and the working week runs Sunday to Thursday; Afghanistan’s weekend is Thursday and Friday, and Iran’s is Friday (Unicode CLDR week data). The calculator’s Weekend menu covers these, and starts with the one for your time zone.

Reading a business-day deadline

Business days in spreadsheets

=WORKDAY(TODAY(),30) in Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice returns the date 30 business days from today, and =WORKDAY(TODAY(),30,H1:H20) also skips the holiday dates listed in H1:H20. =WORKDAY.INTL accepts other weekends, and =NETWORKDAYS(start,end) counts the business days between two dates, with both dates included. Note that last point: NETWORKDAYS counts the start date if it is a weekday, while “N business days from today” does not.

Questions

What is 30 business days from today?
Skipping Saturdays and Sundays, 30 business days from today is Tuesday, December 15, 2026. Public holidays push it later by one day each; choose a country in the calculator to skip them.
Is today counted as a business day?
No. Business days are counted from the next working day, so if today is Monday, Tuesday is business day 1. If today is a Saturday or Sunday, Monday is business day 1.
What is the difference between business days and working days?
In everyday use there is none: both mean the days a business normally works, Monday to Friday in most countries, minus public holidays. Banks sometimes say “banking days” for the days they settle payments, which can exclude extra bank holidays.
Which holidays does the calculator skip?
The national (or state-wide) public holidays of the country you choose, from official government lists for 2026 to 2028. When a holiday falls on a weekend and the law gives a substitute weekday, that weekday is skipped too. Regional and local holidays are not included.
How many business days are in a year?
A common year has 260 or 261 weekdays (Monday to Friday), and a leap year 260, 261 or 262, depending on which weekday the year starts on. Subtract the public holidays that fall on weekdays to get the working days.
