How it works
The tool moves forward or backward from a start date and only counts days that remain workable after weekends and the national holiday layer have been removed.
Example use case
Use it to calculate when an invoice should be paid in 10 business days, when an SLA window ends, or how many workdays remain before a payroll cut-off.

- Working days are calculated by removing weekends and the selected country holiday calendar from the date range.
- Why can the same period differ by country?

- When should I use the business days calculator?

- Use between-dates for country-specific workday totals and date difference for raw calendar duration.
