Calcular the date difference. This gives total calendar days. To get business days, subtract weekends and holidays. The tool handles date arithmetic (add/subtract days) — use it to iterate through dates and count business days, or use the formula approach for large ranges.
- 3 Calculadora de diferencia de tiempo →

Preguntas frecuentes
- How do I handle holidays?
- Maintain a list of holiday dates for the relevant country/region. Use a library (date-holidays, @date/holidays-utils) that provides holiday data for 100+ countries. Holidays vary by year and region — Easter is computed (not fixed), some holidays are observed on the nearest weekday. Update the holiday list annually.
- What about non-standard work weeks?
- Some regions have non-standard weekends: Friday-Saturday (some Middle Eastern countries), Sunday only (some countries). Customize the weekend days in your calculation. For shift work (24/7 operations), every day is a business day — only subtract holidays. For part-time schedules, define the working days per employee.
