Which weekdays make up August 2024
| Day | Count | Working day |

Thursday and Friday appear five times in August 2024 rather than four, which is what lifts the total above the 20 a month of four whole weeks would give.
A note on public holidays
The figure above counts Monday to Friday and nothing else. Public holidays are not deducted, because they are set nationally and often regionally: August carries different holidays in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Australia, and a single number cannot be right for all of them. Subtract your own calendar from 22 to get the figure your contract runs on. For a span that skips weekends from a chosen start date, the business day calculator does the arithmetic.
