Understanding the Work Days Until Diwali Calculation

As we anticipate the celebration of Diwali 2025, let's explore the method behind calculating the number of work days remaining.

The Formula

The calculation of work days until Diwali uses the following formula:

Work Days = Total Days - (Weekends + Holidays)
Where:
- Total Days: The number of calendar days from today until Diwali
- Weekends: The number of Saturdays and Sundays in this period
- Holidays: The number of federal holidays falling on weekdays in this period
                        

Calculation Steps

1. Calculate the total number of days from today until Diwali.
2. Determine the number of weekend days (Saturdays and Sundays) in this period.
3. Identify the number of federal holidays that fall on weekdays during this time.
4. Subtract the weekend days and holidays from the total days.

Example Calculation

Let's walk through an example using hypothetical dates:

Given:
- Today's date: January 1, 2025- Diwali date: October 20, 2025
Step 1: Calculate total days
Total Days = October 20 - January 1 = 69 days

Step 2: Determine weekend days
Weekends = 69 ÷ 7 × 2 ≈ 18 days

Step 3: Identify holidays (assuming 5 federal holidays in this period)
Holidays = 5 days

Step 4: Calculate work days
Work Days = Total Days - (Weekends + Holidays)
          = 69 - (18 + 5)
          = 69 - 23          = 47 work days
