How are business days calculated?

Business days exclude weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and can be customized to exclude specific holidays. Our calculator automatically excludes weekends and provides options for common holiday sets.

Do you account for leap years and different month lengths?

Yes! Our calculator accurately accounts for leap years, varying month lengths (28-31 days), and even handles century leap year rules (divisible by 400). All calculations are precise to the day.

Can I calculate days between dates across different eras?

Absolutely! You can calculate days between any valid dates from 0001 AD to 9999 AD. The calculator handles historical dates and future dates with equal precision.

How accurate is the seasonal and quarter information?

Seasonal calculations use astronomical definitions: Spring (Mar 20), Summer (Jun 21), Fall (Sep 22), Winter (Dec 21). Quarters are standard calendar quarters: Q1 (Jan-Mar), Q2 (Apr-Jun), Q3 (Jul-Sep), Q4 (Oct-Dec).
