Workdays & Weekdays

Calculations with workdays

A workday (or weekday/business day) is Monday through Friday.

Saturday and Sunday are not counted as workdays/weekdays, and neither are public holidays (in your region).

workdays in 3 weeks               | 15 workdays
10 March to 17 March in workdays  | 5 workdays
workdays from April 12 to June 15 | 45 workdays
$500/workday × 4 weeks            | $10,000.00

Work hours

Calculate working time using phrases such as work hours in June or work hours between March 12 and March 25.

Soulver assumes 8 hours per workday by default. You can change this in Dates & Times settings.

You can also convert a duration into workdays:

55h in work days → 6.875 workdays

This example assumes an eight-hour workday.

Public holidays are taken into account in workday calculations

December 25 (Christmas day) is a public holiday in many countries, and this is taken into account when doing workday calculations:

December 24 + 2 workdays | December 30

Public holidays for a Soulver user in Australia

Soulver automatically updates its list of public holidays for your country from the internet for the current and subsequent calendar years.

On Mac, you can view these holidays in Dates & Times settings. For countries with regional holiday support, you can also select your state or region within your country so that the specific holidays of your area are taken into account.
