Both start and end dates are included when counting working days. Add your own holiday list — public holidays differ by state, employer and year.

How to use this calculator

  1. Pick a mode: count days between two dates, or add working days to a date.
  2. Select your dates or the number of working days to add.
  3. Set your working week — many Indian offices use Monday–Friday or Monday–Saturday.
  4. Paste your company holiday list, one date per line in YYYY-MM-DD format.

Formula

Working days = Calendar days − Weekly offs − Listed holidays

In "add working days" mode the calculator steps forward one day at a time from your start date and counts a day only when it falls in your working week and is not on your holiday list.

Worked example

From 1 September to 30 September with a Monday–Friday week, a typical month gives 30 calendar days, about 22 working days and 8 weekly offs. Adding two company holidays reduces the working days to 20.

Assumptions

  • Both the start and end date are included in the count.
  • Holidays are excluded only when they fall on a working day.
  • No national holiday list is applied unless you add one.

Limitations

Half-days, alternate-Saturday policies and regional festival holidays vary widely. Use the custom working week and holiday list to match your own organisation as closely as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many working days are there in a month in India?

It depends on the month and your working week. A Monday–Friday week usually gives 20 to 23 working days, and a Monday–Saturday week gives 24 to 27, before company holidays are removed.

Why don't you include a built-in Indian holiday list?

Public holidays in India differ by state, by employer and by year, and many companies publish their own restricted-holiday lists. A fixed list would give wrong answers, so you can add your own dates instead.

Are the start and end dates counted?

Yes, both dates are included in the count. If you want to exclude the start date, move it forward by one day.

Can I count a six-day week?

Yes. Choose Monday–Saturday, or use the custom option to pick exactly which weekdays you work.
