What are calendar days?
Calendar days are consecutive days on the calendar, normally including weekdays, weekends, and public holidays.
Calendar days explained
Calendar days count every dated day in sequence. If a seven-calendar-day period starts on a Monday, it normally runs through the following Sunday. Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays remain part of the count.
This differs from business days or working days, which usually exclude weekends and may exclude holidays. The exact start and end of a deadline can depend on the rule, agreement, or organization that set it.
How to count calendar days
- Identify whether the starting date counts as day one.
- Count every date in order without skipping weekends or holidays.
- Check the governing instructions if the final day falls on a weekend or holiday.
