Business Days Calculator

Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding weekends (Saturday and Sunday). Note that this calculator counts weekdays but does not automatically exclude public holidays, which vary by country and region.

A typical year has approximately 260-261 business days (365 days minus 104 weekend days). After subtracting public holidays (usually 10-15), most workers have about 245-250 actual working days.

Shipping carriers typically don't deliver on weekends (especially for standard shipping). Using business days gives a more accurate delivery estimate. '5 business days' means 5 weekdays, which could be a full calendar week.
