Enter the start and end dates of the period. Make sure to indicate or select the relevant holidays (ideally, the Chilean holidays option). The calculator will automatically show you the number of days from Monday to Friday in that range, excluding weekends and the specified holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What is this calculator for?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is used to count the exact number of work days (Monday to Friday, not including holidays) between two specific dates. It is essential for planning projects, calculating delivery times, determining vacation periods, meeting legal or financial deadlines, and, in general, for any activity where time is measured in business days.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Which days are considered non-working days by default?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By default, the calculator considers as non-work the following: <\/span><b>Saturdays<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>Sundays<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Additionally, if the option is activated, it will exclude the <\/span><b>official holidays<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (like those in Chile) or custom holidays entered by the user that fall between Monday and Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Practical example of calculating working days<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#039;s calculate the business days for the week of Monday, May 19, to Friday, May 23, 2025, in Chile. Wednesday, May 21, is a holiday (Naval Glories Day).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Total days in range (inclusive): 5 (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weekends in range: 0.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working holidays in the range: 1 (Wednesday 21st).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working days = 5 \u2013 0 \u2013 1 = 4 days. There were 4 working days in that specific week.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Does the calculator automatically include holidays for Chile or other countries?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideally, a good workday calculator for users in Chile or the world should have an option to automatically load the list of <\/span><b>Chilean national holidays<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or the world for the selected year. Try it and you&#039;ll find out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Can I add my own holidays or non-working days?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes. Many calculators of this type offer the ability to manually enter additional dates that should be considered non-working (e.g., specific regional holidays, company-defined long weekends, planned closures). Try it!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Does the calculation include the start date and the end date?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This may vary depending on the calculator. Some calculate business days. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">between<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Some include both dates (excluding both), others include the start date but not the end date, and others include both. It&#039;s important to read the description or try a small example to understand how the specific calculator you&#039;re using works. Our description assumes an inclusive calculation of both dates if they fall on a business day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How are half-holidays or \u201csandwich\u201d holidays handled?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, workday calculators treat days in a binary way: either it&#039;s a workday or it&#039;s not. A &quot;half-holiday&quot; or a &quot;sandwich&quot; day that isn&#039;t legally a full holiday is usually <\/span><b>It is counted as a normal working day<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> unless manually entered as a full holiday.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Can I calculate backwards (what will be the date X business days later\/before)?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some more advanced calculators offer this functionality: enter a start date and a number of business days, and calculate the resulting end date. Or vice versa, enter an end date and calculate the start date X business days in advance. Check to see if our tool includes this &quot;Business Date Calculator&quot; option.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Is this calculator useful for calculating vacation days?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, it&#039;s very useful. You can enter the start and end dates of your vacation, and the calculator will tell you how many business days you&#039;re using, which is how many companies typically discount vacation time (excluding weekends and holidays that fall within the vacation time).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to plan accurately?
