The number of business days in a month typically depends on the specific month and the country’s public holidays. However, here’s a general overview:

What Are Business Days?

  • Business days usually refer to weekdays: Monday through Friday.
  • They exclude weekends (Saturday and Sunday).
  • They also exclude public holidays, which vary by country and region.

Typical Number of Business Days in a Month

  • Most months have between 20 and 23 business days.
  • For example:
    • A 30-day month with no holidays usually has about 22 business days.
    • A 31-day month with no holidays usually has about 23 business days.
    • February usually has 20 business days (or 19 in a leap year if holidays fall on weekdays).

How to Calculate Business Days in a Specific Month

  1. Count the total number of weekdays (Monday to Friday) in the month.
  2. Subtract any public holidays that fall on weekdays.

Example: May 2025

  • May 2025 has 31 days.
  • Weekends: 8 days (4 Saturdays, 4 Sundays).
  • Weekdays: 31 - 8 = 23 business days.
  • Subtract any public holidays in your region to get the exact number.
