Business days calculator: the United States
Add working days to a date or count working days between dates in the United States, using the real public-holiday calendar (12 holidays in 2026) and the correct weekend (Saturday and Sunday).
Where naive business-day math goes wrong
| You compute | Reality | Off by |
|---|---|---|
| +3 business days from Thu Dec 23, 2027 (UK), skipping only Sat/Sun → Tue Dec 28 | Dec 25 and 26 fall on the weekend, so the UK observes the substitute holidays Mon 27 and Tue 28. Neither counts as a working day. | 2 days |
| +5 business days from Sun Jan 3, 2027 (Saudi Arabia), assuming a Mon-Fri week → Fri Jan 8 | Saudi Arabia's weekend is Friday and Saturday, not Saturday and Sunday. Sunday is a working day and Friday isn't. | 2 days |
| Business days from Dec 20, 2027 to Jan 3, 2028 (UK) estimated as days x 5/7 → 11 | The window holds two weekends plus Christmas, Boxing Day, and New Year's Day (with substitutes). The real count is 8. | 3 days |
All three use this API's own data for the stated region and year. Ratios and weekday-only logic break the moment a holiday or a non-Saturday/Sunday weekend enters the window, which is most of the time outside the US.
