Are both endpoints inclusive?

Yes. If you pick Monday as the start and Friday as the end with weekends excluded, the count is 5 — both Monday and Friday are included.

What if I pick start after end?

The tool automatically swaps them so the range always reads from earlier to later.

How are holidays counted if they fall on a weekend?

They're counted in the parsed-holidays total but not double-subtracted from the workday count. Only non-weekend holidays reduce the workday total when weekends are excluded.

What date format should I use for holidays?

YYYY-MM-DD (ISO 8601), e.g. 2025-12-25. Invalid lines are flagged with a toast and ignored.

Does the tool know my country's public holidays?

No — you paste your own holiday list. Public holidays vary by country and region, so we let you supply the exact dates that apply to you.
