Does this tool exclude bank holidays?

Currently, the tool focuses on standard weekends (Saturdays and Sundays). Because public holidays vary significantly by country, state, and even organization, they are not automatically excluded.

Is the start date included in the count?

Yes, this tool uses an 'inclusive' logic. If the start date is a Monday and the end date is the same Monday, it counts as 1 work day.

What happens if I pick a weekend as my start date?

If your start or end date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, those specific days are not counted towards the work day total, but they are included in the calendar day total.

Can I use this for long-term contract planning?

Absolutely. The tool is capable of calculating work days across multiple years, automatically accurately identifying every weekend during that long duration.
