Weekend-only vs. holiday-adjusted

Weekends-only counts skip Saturdays and Sundays. Holiday-adjusted counts also remove selected public holidays for the chosen country and region.

When it matters most

Holiday-adjusted business days are especially useful around Christmas, New Year, Thanksgiving, Easter-related holidays, and regional civic holidays.
