Calculate working days and calendar days in Hong Kong, including General Holidays and court deadline counting under RHC/RDC Order 3.
Calculate end dates or count days between two dates using Hong Kong's 17 General Holidays, Sunday substitutions, and optional calendar-day mode for employment notice periods. Business day conventions (Mon-Fri excluding weekends and General Holidays) are built in for commercial deadlines.
Sequential mode lets you chain multi-stage timelines into one calculation for conveyancing, procurement, and project milestones.
Disclaimer: Use at your own risk and verify deadlines against the governing statute, contract, or court rules.
Enable Court Rules Mode for RHC/RDC Order 3 timelines once you know the legally correct trigger or deemed service date. Periods of seven days or less run in working days, longer periods run in calendar days, and boundary controls help you match wording such as after, before, or clear days.
For High Court pleading timelines, turn on the August exclusion only when the relevant rule excludes Summer Vacation. The same calculator also supports employment notice periods and property or commercial planning with a visible audit trail of excluded days.
Switch between working-day and calendar-day counting, control direction, and include or exclude boundary dates to match contract wording.
Chain up to six deadline periods so finance, due diligence, completion, and notice stages stay in sync.
Apply RHC/RDC Order 3 day-counting rules with boundary controls so you can match wording such as after/from, before, or clear days, and optionally exclude August for High Court pleading deadlines when that rule applies.
Calculate notice periods in calendar days, including weekends and General Holidays, with clear start/end inclusion controls.
All 17 General Holidays are included, and Sunday holidays are substituted with the next weekday under the General Holidays Ordinance (Cap. 149).
Uses the standard Mon-Fri business day definition (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and General Holidays) applied in conveyancing and banking contracts.
