## Plan for Real Life, Not just Calendar Dates
Standard calendars are misleading. They include weekends and holidays when you aren't actually working. The **Business Days Calculator** gives you the *true* working duration between two dates.
### Why It's Better
- **Exclude Weekends**: Validates that "10 days" really means 2 weeks of work.
- **Custom Holidays**: Add specific non-working days (like Christmas, Thanksgiving, or Bank Holidays) to get an accurate count.
- **HR & Shipping Friendly**: Perfect for calculating leave balances or estimated delivery dates.
### How It Works
We iterate through every single day between your Start and End dates.
1. Is it a Saturday or Sunday? **Skip**.
2. Is it on your Holiday list? **Skip**.
3. Otherwise? **Count it**.
### Use Cases
- **Freelancers**: Calculate "Net 15 Business Days" payment terms.
- **Project Managers**: Estimate realistic sprint completions.
- **Shipping**: Verify if a package will arrive before the weekend.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it include the start date?
No. Standard business calculation counts the days *after* the start date. If you start on Monday and end on Tuesday, that is 1 business day.
What about public holidays?
Because holidays vary by country and company, we don't assume them. You must add your specific holidays to the exclusion list for 100% accuracy.
Can I include Saturdays?
Currently, we default to a standard Mon-Fri work week. A custom work-week feature is coming soon.
Is there a limit on holidays?
No. You can add as many specific dates as you need to exclude.
