Business Hours Calculator

Calculate the working hours between two dates and times. Enter a start and end datetime, your working hours and whether to include weekends to see total business hours, working days and non-working hours.

Enter the start and end date and time, your daily working window, and whether weekends count. The calculator adds up the working hours that fall inside your window between the two datetimes, counts the working days, and shows the non-working hours in between.

Total business hours
Working days
Non-working hours

A business hours calculator counts the working hours that fall inside your business day between two dates and times — ideal for SLAs, support response times and project effort estimates.

How it works

For each calendar day in the range, the calculator takes the overlap between that day's working window and the overall start-to-end interval, skipping weekends if required. Business hours are the sum of those overlaps; non-working hours are everything else in the span.

Examples

  • Mon 09:00 to Fri 17:00, 09–17 weekdays = 32 business hours
  • That's 4 working days, with 68 non-working hours
  • Including weekends adds Saturday and Sunday working windows

Frequently asked questions

Are public holidays excluded?

No — public holidays vary by region, so they aren't removed automatically. Subtract their working hours manually if needed.

What if the end is before the start?

The result will be zero or a dash. Make sure the end datetime is after the start datetime.

Just for the giggles, much love.
