To calculate business days in a month, identify the total days, subtract weekends (Saturdays and Sundays), and account for any holidays. For example, in November with 30 days, there are typically 8 weekends (4 Saturdays, 4 Sundays). Subtracting these from 30, you get 22 business days. Adjust further if any holidays fall on weekdays.
