Frequently asked questions
How are working days counted?
All days from start to end inclusive, minus the weekly holiday. 4–8 October is 5 days with no holiday, so 5 working days.
Are public holidays (Eid, Puja) excluded?
No — only the weekly holiday. Subtract any public holidays in between by hand.
How do I count a half-day leave?
This counts whole days. Subtract 0.5 for a half day.
Is Saturday a working day?
It depends. Government offices close Fri–Sat; many private firms Friday only. Pick yours.
What if I want total days between dates?
Pick “None” to see the total. For a detailed gap, see the date difference calculator.
