Contracts, service-level agreements, and shipping estimates are usually written in business days, not calendar days. This tool counts every weekday from the start date through the end date, inclusive, then removes each observed US federal holiday in that range. The result is the figure a deadline actually runs on, alongside the total calendar days and how many of them were weekends or holidays.
Between Monday, June 29, 2026 and Friday, July 3, 2026 there are 4 business days: the range spans 5 calendar days, and 1 of them — Independence Day, observed on Friday, July 3 because July 4 falls on a Saturday — is removed.
When a holiday lands on a weekend, its observed weekday is what gets skipped. That is why a five-weekday stretch can still contain only four business days even though no Saturday or Sunday sits inside it.
Are both the start and end dates counted?
Yes. The count is inclusive of both endpoints, so a single weekday entered as both start and end counts as one business day.
Which holidays are removed?
The eleven US federal holidays — New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas — each on its observed date.
What does "weekend & holiday days" show?
It is the calendar days minus the business days — every Saturday, Sunday, and observed holiday inside the range, combined into one figure.
Does it account for state or company holidays?
No. It uses the federal holiday calendar only. Company closures, state holidays, or bank holidays outside that list are not removed.
