How it works
What this calculadora actually does
Business Days calculadora is built to give you a clean, explainable answer without the usual wall of ads — type the numbers, read the result, keep moving.
Off-by-one-day errors cost parties, deadlines and deposits — this stops that. Decide up front whether weekends count — then count the days and the rest of this page explains what the answer means.
Count business days between two dates, excluding weekends and UK bank holidays (or Brazilian national/state holidays).

Moments this tool earns its keep
Business Days calculadora is aimed at people arriving with questions like these:
- "Working days between dates"
- "Exclude bank holidays"
- "Business days calculadora UK"
- "What is business days"
- "How to calculate business days"
- "Business days formula"
Where the number stops being useful
Every tool has an edge where it stops being the right answer. Business Days calculadora is no exception:
- For legally binding tax or medical decisions — cross-check with HMRC, NHS or a qualified professional.
- For very large or very small extremes the rounding error outgrows the useful precision.
- When the underlying rate or threshold has changed since the page was last reviewed — always verify with the primary source.
- When the input you have is already a derived figure (net of something) — feeding it in as "gross" will double-subtract.
Mistakes we see over and over
Every time you count the days for a new scenario, one of these creeps in — it's worth knowing them ahead of time.
- Assuming the UK and US versions of the same unit are interchangeable — they're not.
- Typing a comma where the tool expects a dot (or vice versa).
- Rounding early — particularly painful in percentages and compound growth.
- Ignoring the time window: a 'per year' answer makes no sense with a monthly input.
- Treating the answer as private: screenshots are fine, but the URL always reruns cleanly.
The sources behind the numbers
Where the maths needs an external authority, we cross-check against:
- GOV.UK bank holidays
- Secretaria da Fazenda
