How the business days are counted
Same rules as the spreadsheets
Between two dates, both ends count when they are business days, like NETWORKDAYS; untick either end if your rule says so. Adding days works like WORKDAY: the start date is not counted.
Holidays from the official lists
Each list is the one published or set by law for 2026 and 2027, read on 16 October 2026. A holiday that falls on a weekend is not counted twice.
Your rules on top
Regional holidays, vacation and office closures go in "Your own days off". Court, tax and contract deadlines have their own counting rules: check them before you rely on a date.
Plan around the dates

Examples
Project time before the holidays
From Monday 2 November to Thursday 31 December 2026, with Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day skipped: the business days left for the project.
Delivery in 10 business days
An order placed on Wednesday 23 December 2026, with Christmas Day and New Year's Day off: 10 business days later is Friday 8 January 2027.
Office closed between Christmas and New Year
The same count with 28 to 31 December added as your own days off, so the team plan matches the office calendar.

Questions
How many business days are there in 2026 in the US?
With Saturday and Sunday as the weekend and the 11 federal holidays that fall on weekdays (Independence Day is observed on Friday 3 July), 2026 has 250 business days. Pick 1 January and 31 December 2026 to see it.
Are both dates counted?
By default yes, like NETWORKDAYS in Excel: the start and end dates count when they are business days. Untick either one when your rule leaves it out.
Which holidays are left out?
The national holidays of the country you pick, for 2026 and 2027: US federal holidays (OPM), Brazil's national holidays by law, Mexico's mandatory rest days (Federal Labour Law, art. 74) and the holidays common to every region of Spain (BOE). State and city holidays are yours to add.
How do I add 30 business days to a date?
Choose "Add or subtract", pick the start date and type 30. As with WORKDAY, the start date is not counted and the result is always a business day.
Can I use it for legal or tax deadlines?
As a quick check only. Courts, tax offices and contracts each have their own rules about which days count and when a deadline starts. Confirm with the rule that applies to you.
Can I put this calculator on my site?
Yes. Press "Add this tool to my site" to get the code. It works the same inside your page, with a small credit link.
