Choose a start date, a number of calendar days and your weekly-off pattern, then subtract holidays, to count the working days in any period.
Working days drive pay for part-months, leave counts and notice periods. This working days calculator counts them date by date so the week-offs fall on the right days.
Holidays are entered as a number because they are set by your holiday list and by state notifications, which vary by state. Count only holidays that fall on a working day.
Enter your figures, then press Calculate
Your 6 inputs become a full breakdown, with every step of the working shown beneath the headline figures.
The count walks through each date in the period, drops the weekly offs, then subtracts holidays that fall on a working day. The method sets out each rule.
Working days = Calendar days in the period − Weekly offs in the period − Holidays falling on working days
The start date and the number of calendar days, counting both the first and last day.
Each date is checked against the weekly-off pattern, so a 31-day month with five Sundays gives five, not four.
Only holidays that fall on a working day reduce the count. A holiday on a Sunday under a Sunday-off pattern is already excluded.
What this does not include
Asked often enough about this calculation to be worth answering beside it.
It depends on the month and the weekly-off pattern. A 30-day month with Sunday off has 25 or 26 working days before holidays, depending on how many Sundays fall in it.
No, if Sunday is already your weekly off. Subtract only holidays that fall on days that would otherwise be worked.
Choose Sunday only as the pattern, then add the number of off Saturdays in the period to the holidays figure.
Some employers divide monthly pay by working days, others by calendar days or a fixed 26 or 30. The pro-rata and LOP calculators let you choose the divisor.
A calculator applies a rule to figures you type in. A payroll run applies it to your actual employee record, your locations and your verified declarations, which is where Professional Tax, LWF and TDS also resolve.
