📖 Overview

Count business days between two calendar dates with customizable workweek rules.

Subtract holiday closures to get realistic execution days for delivery planning.

The tool also converts days into total work hours for staffing and budget estimates.

It is designed for project managers and operators who need quick timeline math.

When To Use This

  • Use this tool when you need a fast decision during active planning or execution.
  • Use this before committing money, time, or tradeoffs that are hard to reverse.
  • Use this to compare options using the same assumptions across scenarios.

Edge Cases To Watch

  • Results can be misleading if key inputs are missing, stale, or unrealistic.
  • Very small or very large values may amplify rounding effects and interpretation risk.
  • If assumptions change mid-decision, recalculate before acting.

Practical Tips

💡 Validate units before comparing scenarios.
💡 Run multiple values to understand sensitivity.
💡 Use outputs as estimates, not guarantees.
