How many business days in a month?

[xavier]

I want to understand how many business days in a month on average, especially for planning payroll and project timelines. Does it usually stay around the same number, or does it change a lot depending on holidays and weekends? Any standard calculation businesses follow?

A standard month usually has 20 to 23 working days, which vary depending on weekends and public holidays, with the average being around 21-22 days when a normal Monday-Friday week is considered and holidays like January (22-23), February (19-21), and longer months like July or December (22-23) are subtracted. The precise count varies from month to month and year to year depending on the distribution of weekends and national/local holidays in the calendar.

The number of business days is not constant as it does depend on weekends and holidays. Usually, a month will have from 20 up to 23 business days. The yearly average comes out to about 21.7 days per month and is based on a standard Monday-Friday working week.
