What Is a Working Days Calculator?

A Working Days Calculator computes the number of working days between two dates, excluding weekends and public holidays. It supports both 5-day and 6-day work weeks and can factor in leaves to calculate attendance percentage.

This calculator is useful for project planning, leave tracking, salary calculation, and attendance monitoring. It helps HR teams and employees accurately track working days for payroll and compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are working days calculated?
Working days = Total calendar days - Weekends - Public holidays. For a 5-day week, Saturdays and Sundays are excluded. For 6-day week, only Sundays are excluded. Leaves are not subtracted from working days but affect attendance.
What is the average working days per month?
In India, a 5-day week has ~21-22 working days per month. A 6-day week has ~25-26 working days. This varies based on the number of days in the month and public holidays.
How is attendance percentage calculated?
Attendance % = (Days attended / Total working days) × 100. Most companies require 75-80% minimum attendance. Days attended = Working days - Leaves taken.
Are public holidays counted in working days?
No, public holidays are excluded from working days. India has ~10-15 public holidays per year (national, state, and company-specific). These are paid holidays and do not affect salary.
How many working days in a year?
A 5-day week has ~260 working days per year (365 - 104 weekends - ~10 holidays). A 6-day week has ~300 working days. This is used for daily wage calculation and attendance tracking.
