Count business days between two dates — free, no sign-up, nothing leaves your browser.
Counts Monday–Friday only, both dates inclusive. Bank holidays aren't excluded automatically — since they vary by year and by nation (England & Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland), add the specific ones that apply to you above.
A lot of deadlines are quietly defined in working days rather than calendar days, which can catch people out — "5 working days" starting on a Thursday doesn't mean "5 days from now," it means the following Thursday, because the weekend in between doesn't count. This shows up in delivery estimates, statutory notice periods, cooling-off periods on contracts, and processing times for official paperwork, where the stated timeframe assumes a standard Monday-to-Friday week. Miscounting by including weekends is one of the most common ways people misjudge when a deadline actually falls, especially when a range spans more than one weekend.
Bank holidays differ between England & Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, and the dates change every year — rather than risk showing an outdated or wrong list, you can add the exact dates that apply to your situation.
