Business Days Calculators and Deadline Questions

Business-day answers depend on the start rule, skipped dates, and the calendar behind the deadline. Use this topic page for deadlines, invoice terms, HR response windows, shipping dates, holidays, closures, and workday counts.

Direct answer

For business-day questions, identify the start date, decide whether that date counts, then skip weekends and any listed holidays or closures. Do not use a business-day answer when the rule says calendar days.
