Business days until a date

This business-days-until-date calculator measures the working time separating an explicit reference date from an explicit target date.

Run — free How it works & API

Use it from WebAPIEmailTelegramApp soon

It skips Saturdays and Sundays, removes any weekday holidays you provide, and never depends on the current day or the machine's local timezone. The reference date is excluded and the target date is included, matching the common question of how many working days remain after a known checkpoint. Earlier targets produce negative counts, so the same response can describe deadlines ahead or milestones already passed.

How to use it

Enter your values in the form above. The tool checks them before calculating and shows the result on the same page.

Check your inputs

Use the labels and units shown next to each field. If something is missing or outside the allowed range, the page points to the field to fix.

Use it again or automate it

Use the browser tool for individual checks and the API when you need the same capability in an automated workflow.

For developers — API access

Everything on this page is available programmatically. This section is for teams who want to wire it into their own systems; everyone else can just use the tool above.

API endpoint

POSThttps://api.kit.forhosting.com/date/business-days-until-date

Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.

Call it from your stack

curl -X POST https://api.kit.forhosting.com/date/business-days-until-date \

  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.KIT_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "reference_date": "2026-07-03",

    "content" => '{"reference_date":"2026-07-03","target_date":"2026-07-10"}',
  ],

$task = json_decode($res, true);

body := bytes.NewBufferString(`{"reference_date":"2026-07-03","target_date":"2026-07-10"}`)
req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/date/business-days-until-date", body)
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("KIT_KEY"))

Example request

{
  "reference_date": "2026-07-03",
  "target_date": "2026-07-10"
}

Example response

{
  "task_id": "tsk_a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "type": "date.business_days_until_date",
  "status": "queued",
  "_links": {
    "result": "/tasks/tsk_…/result"
  }
}

The API is asynchronous: the call returns a task_id immediately and the result arrives by webhook. Polling is capped at 1 req/s per task.
