Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between calendar days and business days?

Calendar days include every day. Business days usually skip weekends.

Are holidays excluded?

No. This calculator skips weekends in business-day mode but does not know your holiday calendar.

Is the start date counted?

Elapsed-day calculations usually count the time after the start date. Specific contracts may define this differently.

Can I add negative days?

If supported, negative days move backward from the start date.

Why do date results differ across tools?

Different tools may use inclusive counting, holiday calendars, or time-zone assumptions.
