❓ FAQ

Do the counted workdays include public holidays?

No. The tool only excludes weekends and any dates you enter manually; it has no built-in holiday calendar for any country. For official scheduling, add local public holidays to "Additional dates to exclude".

Why do I have to enter holidays myself?

Public holidays vary by country and region and change every year. Rather than give you a list that may be outdated or inapplicable, we let you control it.

Can it tell me what date falls after a certain number of workdays?

Use it together with a date calculator: first get the total workday count here, then add the days in the date calculator, or estimate by subtracting the weekend days.
