How it's counted
Business days count Monday to Friday only. Starting tomorrow, the calculator skips each Saturday and Sunday until it has counted 8 working days. Public holidays are not skipped, so add one day for each holiday that falls in between.
In a spreadsheet
In Excel or Google Sheets, type =WORKDAY(TODAY(),8) and format the cell as a date. WORKDAY skips Saturdays and Sundays; add a holiday list as a third value to skip those too. To count from a different start date, use the date calculator.
