Are Saturdays working days in Ghana?

Not for this count, which treats Monday to Friday as working days, as most offices and the civil service do. Shops and some businesses open on Saturdays.

Does this include holidays for next year?

Only once the government announces them. Until then, dates after the last announced year leave out weekends only, and the calculator says so.

How it works

Working days are Monday to Friday, less the public holidays that fall on them, as the government declared them: a holiday moved to a Friday or a Monday counts on the day it was moved to.

Both dates are counted when you count between two dates. When you count on from a date, the starting day is not counted.
