Regional weekend differences This page should only be described as Saturday/Sunday counting if that is what the implementation does. Some countries or organizations use different weekly rest days. Worked example: An inclusive Monday-through-Sunday range contains two weekend days: Saturday and Sunday. Common practical uses include Staffing analysis; Delivery planning; Calendar breakdowns; Count Saturday/Sunday dates in a project period.

Yes if it is configured for the standard Saturday/Sunday weekend. Are start and end dates included? Use the inclusion behavior displayed by the tool; endpoints can change the count. Is two weekend days always one full weekend? No. Two counted dates can come from separate partial weekends depending on the range. Does this count public holidays? No. Holidays are separate from whether a date falls on Saturday or Sunday. The page should stay focused on this differentiator: Clarify individual weekend days vs complete weekends and endpoint inclusion.
