Count the exact number of business days between two dates. Weekends and all eleven federal holidays are excluded. Both the start and end dates are included in the count.
Excludes weekends and U.S. federal holidays. Not legal advice.
Run the defaults loaded above, June 1 through June 30, 2026, and the panel reports 21 business days out of 30 calendar days. Eight of those thirty days are weekend days, four Saturdays and four Sundays, and one more, Friday, June 19, is Juneteenth National Independence Day, a federal holiday recognized under FRCP Rule 6(a)(6). Stretch the end date out to July 6 and the range picks up a second holiday, the observed Fourth of July on Friday, July 3, since the actual date, Saturday, July 4, gets pushed back a day. The wider window removes ten weekend days and two holidays from 36 calendar days, leaving 24 business days, so a longer range does not always add business days one-for-one; how many weekends and holidays it happens to cross matters as much as its length.
In 2026 those eleven dates fall as follows: New Year's Day on Thursday, January 1; Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, January 19; Presidents' Day on Monday, February 16; Memorial Day on Monday, May 25; Juneteenth on Friday, June 19; the observed Fourth of July on Friday, July 3 (the actual date lands on a Saturday); Labor Day on Monday, September 7; Columbus Day on Monday, October 12; Veterans Day on Wednesday, November 11; Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 26; and Christmas on Friday, December 25. Every one of those comes from the same holiday function running in the calculator above, not a separate lookup table, so checking back in a different year will show different dates automatically.
| Removed from the count | Basis |
|---|---|
| Saturdays and Sundays | Standard weekend exclusion under most court rules |
| 11 U.S. federal holidays | FRCP Rule 6(a)(6) legal-holiday list |
The four numbers above only mean something once you know what your court rule counts. If a deadline is written in business days, the exact figure the panel shows, 21 for the June default, is what you plug into your calculation. If it is written in calendar days instead, use the calendar-day figure and set the business-day total aside; mixing the two is the most common counting mistake this page sees. Watch the endpoints as well. This tool counts both the start date and the end date, which matches most inclusive-count rules, but a handful of court rules exclude one endpoint or the other. Read the specific rule before relying on either number for anything with a real deadline attached, and for a single trigger-plus-days deadline rather than a range, the single-date deadline tool runs the same holiday list against one start date. Need to work backward from a trial date instead of forward from a filing? The calendar-day and court-day tool with a direction toggle handles both.
Add or subtract days from a single date, or pull up Florida's own filing rules, both built on this same eleven-holiday list.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This is a general reference tool, not legal advice. Confirm any count that carries real consequences against the applicable court rules.
