How to use it

- See the result and the holidays that were skipped.
When this helps
- Working in Germany: holidays differ by state — check how many days of leave a trip actually costs in Bavaria vs Berlin.
- Clients abroad: promising a delivery “in 10 business days” to a client in Portugal or Brazil, using their holidays.
- Notice periods: roughly counting a notice or response period in working days.
- Planning a project timeline across teams in different countries.
