Common mistakes

Forgetting Sunday still counts as the weekend. If today is Sunday, the weekend has already arrived — the count shows 0 days.
Assuming a Friday-Saturday-Sunday weekend everywhere. Some countries and industries use a different weekend schedule (e.g. Friday-Saturday) — this calculator uses the Saturday-Sunday convention.
Wanting the weekday itself, not the countdown. If you need to know which weekday a specific date falls on, use the day of the week calculator instead.
