Frequently Asked Questions

What is a business day in Australia?

A business day in Australia is Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. The specific public holidays vary by state and territory, which is why this calculator lets you choose your state.

How do I calculate business days between two dates?

Why do business days differ by state in Australia?

Each Australian state and territory has its own public holidays in addition to national holidays. For example, the Melbourne Cup is a public holiday in metropolitan Melbourne but not in Sydney.
