| Planning question | Use this baseline | Adjustment to make |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly capacity | 22 weekday work slots | Subtract company holidays, PTO, shutdown days, and recurring meeting load. |
| Invoice or SLA deadlines | Weekends are excluded; holidays are not | Confirm whether the contract follows bank, federal, state, or company holidays. |
| Payroll and staffing | 22 possible workdays before local rules | Apply your official payroll calendar and time-zone cutoff rules. |
Formula: business days = total calendar days - Saturdays - Sundays. For this page: 31 - 9 = 22.

Direct answer: August 2027 has 22 business days, 9 weekend days, and 31 calendar days using the standard MondayβFriday workweek. It starts on a Sunday and ends on a Tuesday; public holidays, school closures, bank holidays, and company shutdowns are not subtracted.
At 8 scheduled hours per weekday, August 2027 contains about 176 work hours before PTO and holidays. That equals 4 full 5-day workweeks plus 2 extra weekday(s).
Use 22 as the neutral baseline for SLA windows, invoice aging, sprint planning, and staffing estimates. If a local holiday falls on a weekday, subtract it from this baseline before committing dates.
Formula: business days = calendar days - Saturdays - Sundays. For August 2027: 31 - 9 = 22.

Keep three numbers separate: calendar days, standard weekdays, and organization-specific working days. Start with the weekday count on this page, subtract observed weekday holidays or closures, then track partial-day shutdowns as capacity changes rather than full business-day removals.
This separation keeps payroll, billing, school planning, and project-capacity estimates from mixing universal calendar math with local policy choices.
