Working Days Calculation:
| From: | To: |
This calculator determines the number of working days (business days) between two dates and converts this to equivalent weeks (based on a standard 5-day work week). It excludes weekends (Saturday and Sunday) by default.
The calculator uses the following formulas:
Explanation: The calculator iterates through each day between the start and end dates, counting only Monday through Friday as working days.
Details: Calculating working days is essential for project planning, payroll processing, service level agreements, and any business process that operates on weekdays only.
Tips: Enter valid start and end dates. The calculator automatically handles date ranges where the end date is before the start date by swapping them. Results are shown in both working days and equivalent weeks.
Q1: Are holidays included in the calculation?
A: No, this calculator only excludes weekends. For more precise calculations including holidays, you would need to manually exclude them.
Q2: What if my work week is different (e.g., Sunday-Thursday)?
A: This calculator assumes a standard Monday-Friday work week. Custom work weeks would require modification of the code.
Q3: How are partial weeks calculated?
A: Weeks are calculated by dividing working days by 5, with the result rounded to 2 decimal places for precision.
Q4: Does the calculator include the start and end dates?
A: Yes, both the start and end dates are included in the calculation if they fall on a weekday.
Q5: What's the maximum date range this can handle?
A: The calculator can handle any reasonable date range, though extremely large ranges may take slightly longer to process.
