This calculator helps you determine the number of working days between two specific dates or to project an end date based on a set number of working days. It is tailored for users in the United Kingdom, automatically accounting for weekends and public bank holidays in England and Wales.
At Calculator Site, we built this tool to simplify project planning, holiday tracking, and deadline management. You can find more tools like our Take-Home Pay Calculator to manage your finances.
Weekends and Bank Holidays
The calculator identifies Saturdays and Sundays as weekend days. It also checks against a pre-defined list of UK bank holidays for 2025 and 2026. You have the flexibility to include or exclude certain holidays from the calculation. If a day is not a weekend or a bank holiday you have chosen to exclude, it is counted as a working day.
Planning around school holidays?
If you need to factor in school term dates and half-terms when planning your working days, visit SchoolHolidays.org.uk for a comprehensive list of UK school holiday dates by region and local authority.
The second function allows you to forecast a completion date. You provide a start date and the total number of working days your task or project requires. The calculator then adds days to the start date one by one, but only counts the days that are not weekends or bank holidays. It continues this process until the specified number of working days has been reached, giving you the exact end date.
