How days are subtracted

The starting date is not counted. The calculator moves backward and counts only eligible Monday-through-Friday dates.

result date = start date − requested eligible business days

Worked examples

One business day before Monday is Friday. Three business days before Thursday is Monday.

If the previous Friday is manually excluded, one business day before Monday becomes Thursday.

Weekend starts

Subtracting one business day from Sunday skips Saturday and counts Friday. Subtracting zero returns the original date.
