Direct answer
Enter weekends and custom closure dates as skipped days, then count only the remaining business days.
Company closures can matter as much as public holidays for internal deadlines.
Use this answer for counting business days when a team has closures beyond weekends. Before relying on it, compare the inputs with your HR portal, PTO policy, company calendar, handbook, manager guidance, or employment agreement.

Formula: Business days = weekdays counted - custom non-work dates.
Example: A 10-business-day deadline with one company closure inside the window lands one business day later.
Keep the formula and example beside the calculator result. That makes it easier to see whether the difference came from hours, dates, pay frequency, or policy wording.

Step-by-step method
Key checks
- Write down the PTO balance, accrual timing, daily hours, date range, holidays, notice period, and approval rules before calculating.
- Calculate the plain version first so the baseline is visible.
- Apply the rule: Business days = weekdays counted - custom non-work dates.
- Adjust for partial days, holidays, blackout dates, projected accrual, custom schedules, payout rules, and business-day wording only when those details apply.
- Compare the result with your HR portal, PTO policy, company calendar, handbook, manager guidance, or employment agreement before using it for a real PTO request, resignation plan, deadline estimate, final-pay note, or workplace planning decision.
What can change the answer
The answer can change when partial days, holidays, blackout dates, projected accrual, custom schedules, payout rules, and business-day wording are part of the real situation.
That does not make the calculator unreliable. It means the inputs need to match the real rule, schedule, paycheck, or policy record.
If the result affects pay, PTO, notice timing, or a formal deadline, treat it as a planning estimate until the official source confirms it.
Common mistakes
Key checks
- Do not rely on weekends-only counting when company closures apply.
- Do not subtract a custom non-work date twice.
- Do not forget half-day closures may need policy judgment.
