Canada Working Day Calculator Features & Tools
Calculation Modes
Flexibly calculate deadlines by adding/subtracting days, or find the number of days between two dates. Control direction, start/end inclusion, and the day counting basis with a single switch.
Chain up to six working-day periods where each result becomes the next start date--perfect for finance -> due diligence -> settlement timelines.
Precise Date Counting
Control whether start and end dates are included so the results match Canadian contract wording (e.g., 'within X business days' vs 'after X business days').
Federal statutory holidays plus every province/territory holiday (Family Day variants, St-Jean-Baptiste Day, Nunavut Day, etc.) are built in.
Province & Territory Selector
Pick the jurisdiction that applies to your matter so the calculator loads the correct statutory holiday calendar.
Observed/Shifted Days
Automatically applies Canadian observance rules when holidays fall on weekends (e.g., the next Monday for most provinces).
Shutdown Periods
Layer on optional shutdowns such as Federal Court holiday practice (21 Dec-7 Jan), Quebec construction winter/summer closures, or firm year-end breaks.
Timeline View
Visualize the result through a colour-coded timeline showing working days, weekends, and holidays.
Verification
Review the non-working days excluded from the calculation for complete transparency, and export the result and calculation parameters to PDF.
