Weekday Counter is designed for the exact search intent behind “weekday counter”. Count how many times selected weekdays occur inside a date range, such as the number of Mondays, Fridays or Monday-through-Friday dates. Count selected day-of-week occurrences in a range. Weekday occurrence counting The calculation checks each calendar date in the range against the selected day-of-week values. It can therefore answer questions such as “How many Fridays occur between these dates?” Weekdays vs business days A weekday counter is not necessarily a holiday-aware business-day calculator. Monday through Friday can be counted even when a selected date is a public holiday. Inclusive ranges If the range is inclusive, a matching start or end date counts. If it is exclusive, endpoint behavior differs. Follow the rule shown in the tool. Worked example: In a seven-day Monday-through-Sunday range, Monday occurs once. Common practical uses include Count instructional weekdays; Plan recurring staffing days; Measure weekday mix in a period; Count specific weekdays for schedules. Important limitations: Holiday calendars are not automatically applied unless supported. The start/end inclusion rule affects matching endpoint dates. This is calendar weekday counting, not necessarily working-day compliance. Key questions this page should answer include: What does a weekday counter count? It counts occurrences of selected days of the week inside a date range. Can I count only Mondays? Yes when the tool allows individual weekday selection. Is Monday through Friday the same as business days? Not always. Business-day calculations can additionally exclude holidays or organization-specific closures. Are the start and end dates included? That depends on the tool's range rule; matching endpoints count only when included. Can I count Saturdays and Sundays too? If all seven weekday choices are available, yes; otherwise use the dedicated weekend-day counter. The page should stay focused on this differentiator: Separate selected weekday occurrences from holidays/business-day intent. The tool should appear before the explanatory copy so a visitor can complete the task immediately, then use the supporting content to verify the method and understand the result.
