How Many Business Days in a Year?

The number of business days in a year typically refers to weekdays (Monday to Friday) excluding weekends and public holidays. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Weekdays Only (excluding weekends):
   • A common year (365 days) has ≈260–261 weekdays.
   • A leap year (366 days) has ≈261–262 weekdays.
   • The exact number depends on how weekends align with the year’s start date. For example:
     • In 2023 (common year starting on Sunday): 260 weekdays.
     • In 2024 (leap year starting on Monday): 262 weekdays.
2. Public Holidays:
   • Most countries observe 8–12 public holidays annually. For example:
     • The U.S. has 10 federal holidays.
     • Subtracting these, business days drop to ≈248–252 (varies by country/region).

General Estimate:

• ≈250–255 business days (including typical public holidays).
• ≈260–262 weekdays (weekends only excluded).
