Tips for Accurate Date Calculations
Ensure Date Accuracy
Always double-check your input dates. Remember that the calculation includes the start date but excludes the end date, following standard date range conventions used in business and legal contexts.
Consider National Holidays
Select the correct country to get accurate holiday calculations. Different countries have varying numbers of public holidays, which can significantly impact business day calculations for international projects.
Understanding Business Days
Business days typically run Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and public holidays. This is crucial for contract deadlines, shipping estimates, and professional scheduling.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the holiday calculations?
Our calculator uses the official date-holidays library with up-to-date information for over 100 countries. Holiday dates are automatically updated and include all major national public holidays.
