By default, the calculator excludes only weekends (Saturday and Sunday). Public holidays vary by country and region. For India, common holidays include Republic Day, Independence Day, and Gandhi Jayanti. Add these manually for precise results.

Some organizations work 6 days a week (Monday to Saturday). Our calculator is designed for standard Monday-Friday work weeks. For 6-day work weeks, use the regular Days Between Dates calculator and subtract only Sunday.
