How the counting works
The day you start from is not counted. The tool steps forward (or back) one day at a time, skips weekends, public holidays and your own days off, and stops when it has counted the number you asked for. If you start on a Saturday, counting simply begins with the next working day.
Common uses
- Payment due "within 30 days" or "10 working days" of an invoice.
- A delivery promised in 3 to 5 business days.
- A reply deadline, a cooling off period or a notice period stated in working days.
- Going backwards: the last day to send something that must arrive 5 working days before an event.
