How to count days between two dates

Enter a start date and end date in the "Date Difference" tab. The calculator shows total calendar days, business days (Monday–Friday excluding public holidays), weekend days, and a list of public holidays in the range.

Gibralton has 12 public holidays per year, broadly mirroring England and Wales but with Gibraltar-specific additions — most notably Gibraltar National Day (10 September) and the Queen's Birthday Parade holiday. Commonwealth Day (second Monday of March) is also observed as a public holiday in Gibraltar, unlike in Great Britain.
