Why count working days?

Knowing the exact number of working days in a month is essential for payroll, project planning, freelance invoicing and HR calculations. Unlike a simple calendar count, this tool removes weekends and all official bank and public holidays for your specific country and region — giving you the true number of days your business is actually operating.

Bank holidays vary significantly not just between countries but between regions: Scotland has different public holidays to England and Wales, and Australian states each observe different days.

What counts as a working day?

By default, a working day is any Monday to Friday that is not a bank or public holiday in your selected country or region. You can customise your working week using the Custom option.

Are bank holidays included in the working day count?

No. Bank and public holidays that fall on a working day are subtracted from the working day total. If a bank holiday falls on a weekend, it is not double-counted.

Why are UK regions listed separately?

Scotland, England & Wales, and Northern Ireland each have different public holiday schedules. Selecting your specific region ensures accuracy.

How far ahead can I calculate?

Bank holiday data is sourced from the Nager Date public holidays API, which publishes official data for most countries several years in advance.

What if my country isn't listed?

The tool covers the most commonly searched countries. If yours is not listed, the count will default to weekdays only without deducting public holidays.
