Weekday Count in Date Range Calculator
Pick a start and end date, and the tool instantly tallies how many times each weekday occurs in the range, with separate totals for weekdays (Mon–Fri) and the weekend (Sat & Sun). Toggle whether each endpoint is included to match different contract or shift conventions.
Please enter valid ISO dates (YYYY-MM-DD).
End is earlier than start — the range was computed from the earlier date forward.

Per-weekday breakdown
Both endpoints are included by default; toggle them off for "exclusive" conventions (e.g. "from tonight, excluding today" or "last day of contract not counted"). All weekdays use the proleptic Gregorian calendar — public holidays are NOT subtracted.
Formula
For each day d in [start, end], compute weekday(d) (0 = Sun … 6 = Sat) and bucket-count. Weekday days = Σ counts[1..5]; weekend days = counts[0] + counts[6].
- · Both endpoints are included by default; toggle either off to model [start, end), (start, end] or (start, end) intervals.
- · If the end date is earlier than the start, the calculator flips them and shows a notice — counts are always over the absolute calendar span.
- · Uses the proleptic Gregorian calendar with the ISO 8601 weekday convention (Mon = 1, Sun = 7). Public holidays are NOT subtracted — the result is purely based on day-of-week.
- · Output is seven integers plus weekday / weekend subtotals; the URL is updated on each change so you can share an exact view with colleagues.
- · For very long spans (10+ years) each weekday occurs roughly N/7 times — the spread between weekdays is typically 0–1 depending on where the two endpoints land.
Frequently asked
Does this calculator subtract public holidays?
No. This tool counts purely by day-of-week, so the result depends only on the calendar span and is identical regardless of country or year-specific holidays. If you need true working days net of local public holidays, use the dedicated Business Days calculator alongside an authoritative calendar.
Why do two months of the same length give slightly different weekday counts?
Because it depends on what weekday the month starts on. A 31-day month starting on Monday has 23 weekdays (4 full Mon–Fri weeks plus an extra Mon + Tue + Wed), while one starting on Friday has only 21. The span is identical but the weekday distribution shifts based on the starting weekday.
Can I count how many Fridays were in last year?
Yes — set Jan 1 of that year as the start, Dec 31 as the end (both included) and read the Friday row in the breakdown. A 365-day common year has 52 occurrences of each weekday plus one extra weekday (the year-start), while a 366-day leap year has two weekdays appearing 53 times.
