Business days, also known as working days, are the days on which normal business operations are conducted. In most countries, business days are typically Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays. Calendar days, on the other hand, include all days of the week, including weekends and holidays.

The most common method to calculate business days is to count all days between two dates excluding weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and public holidays. Some variations include:
Accurate business day calculation is crucial for many aspects of business operations and planning:
