The number of business days in a month typically depends on the specific month and the country’s public holidays. However, here’s a general overview:
What Are Business Days?
- Business days usually refer to weekdays: Monday through Friday.
- They exclude weekends (Saturday and Sunday).
- They also exclude public holidays, which vary by country and region.
Typical Number of Business Days in a Month
- Most months have between 20 and 23 business days.
- For example:
- A 30-day month with no holidays usually has about 22 business days.
- A 31-day month with no holidays usually has about 23 business days.
- February usually has 20 business days (or 19 in a leap year if holidays fall on weekdays).
How to Calculate Business Days in a Specific Month
- Count the total number of weekdays (Monday to Friday) in the month.
- Subtract any public holidays that fall on weekdays.
Example: May 2025
- May 2025 has 31 days.
- Weekends: 8 days (4 Saturdays, 4 Sundays).
- Weekdays: 31 - 8 = 23 business days.
- Subtract any public holidays in your region to get the exact number.
