How to use this quarter count
The baseline formula is calendar days - weekend days = weekday business days. For Q1 2028, that is 91 calendar days - 26 weekend days = 65 weekday business days, before public holidays, office closures, or custom non-working days.
Capacity planning
Start with 65 weekday slots, subtract PTO, public holidays, company shutdowns, and meeting-heavy days, then multiply by available contributors to estimate realistic delivery capacity.
Payroll and billing
Use the quarter dates (Saturday, January 1, 2028 to Friday, March 31, 2028) to align invoices, subscription renewals, contractor schedules, and biweekly or monthly payroll cutoffs.
Editorial calendar
Q1 2028 includes leap-year February, so February contributes 21 weekday business days instead of the 20-day baseline found in many non-leap years.
