1. What is the Work Days Calculator?

The Work Days Calculator calculates the number of working days between two dates, excluding weekends and specified holidays. It's useful for project planning, leave management, and business day calculations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ \text{Work Days} = \text{Total Days} - \text{Weekends} - \text{Holidays} \]

Where:

Total Days — Calendar days between dates
Weekends — Saturdays and Sundays
Holidays — User-specified non-working days

Explanation: The calculator counts each day between the dates, skipping weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and any specified holidays.
