How it works

Every day in the range is checked against a calendar of weekends and the eleven federal holidays. The result is the total business days, with both endpoints counted. Courts using 'business days' in their rules generally mean this.

Inclusive count: both the start and end dates are included. Some court rules exclude one or both endpoints. Check the specific rule before relying on the total.

FAQs

How are business days counted?

A business day is any weekday that is not a federal holiday. Every day in the range is checked, and Saturdays, Sundays, and the eleven U.S. federal holidays are dropped from the business-day total.

Are both dates included?

Yes. This tool counts inclusively, from the start date through the end date. Some court rules exclude one or both endpoints, so check the rule that governs your filing.

Which holidays are excluded?

All eleven U.S. federal holidays on their observed dates. State courts observe additional holidays that vary by jurisdiction and are not reflected here. Check your court calendar before filing.

Does it cover state holidays?

This tool covers the eleven federal holidays only. Add any state or court-specific closures yourself, and verify the total against the court rule that applies.

Is this legal advice?

This is a general reference tool, not legal advice. Confirm any count that carries real consequences against the applicable court rules.
