Weekends Counter

Count how many weekend days fall between two calendar dates. Saturdays and Sundays only, no holiday policy.

Type digits only; hyphens are added automatically in the selected format.

How it works

The tool walks the calendar days from the start date to the end date, both included, and counts which are Saturday or Sunday.

Examples

  • From Thursday, January 1 to Sunday, January 4, 2026, there are 2 weekend days (Saturday and Sunday).
  • From a Thursday to a Friday with no weekend between, the count is 0.

Frequently asked questions

Are the first and last dates included?

Yes. The count covers weekend days on or after the start date and on or before the end date.

Which days count as weekends?

Saturday and Sunday.

How is this different from Business Days Between Dates?

That tool counts weekdays with an optional observed US federal-holiday policy. This one counts only the weekend days, with no holiday policy.

Can it count a single day?

Yes. If the single day is a weekend day, the result is 1; otherwise it is 0.
