Examples
| Question | Dates | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| Days until Christmas | 5 Nov to 25 Dec 2026 | 50 days |
| A one-month notice period | 5 Nov to 4 Dec 2026, end date included | 30 days, 22 weekdays |
| Length of a Schengen trip | 1 to 14 Jun 2026, end date included | 14 days |
For Schengen visits, entry and exit days both count, so always include the end date, or use the Schengen 90/180 calculator.
Working days and bank holidays
Weekdays here are Monday to Friday and don’t exclude bank holidays. In England and Wales there are usually 8 bank holidays a year, so subtract any that fall in your range for an exact count of working days.
