Calculating working days in a year involves subtracting the weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) and public holidays from the total number of days (365 or 366 in a leap year). You start with the total days in a year, subtract the weekends (52 weeks x 2 days), and then subtract the number of public holidays. Formula: Total days in a year - (Weekends + Public holidays). For precision, adjust the formula based on the specific year's calendar.
