Working days calculator
Count the working days between two dates. Weekends and Suriname public holidays are skipped. Useful for deadlines, delivery times and payroll.
What counts as a working day in Suriname
The calculator counts Monday to Friday and skips the official days off listed on the public holidays page. When the government adds an extra day off for a year, we add it as soon as it is announced. If you also work on Saturdays, as many shops do, tick the box.
- Lead times and quotes: "delivery within 15 working days" can end a week later than you expect when holidays fall in between.
- Payroll: the number of working days in a month sets the pay of day and hourly workers.
- Legal time limits often count calendar days, not working days. Check which one is meant.
Islamic and Hindu holidays follow the moon. Until the government announces the date, we use the expected date.
