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 ```
