Calculation method

Calculation method

Business-clock deadline

Advance through supplied weekday windows, excluding whole holiday dates and the union of pause intervals. Stop when counted minutes equal allowance.

Counted allowance (business minutes)

Entered whole-minute allowance; zero allowance returns the creation timestamp even outside opening hours.

Elapsed calendar minutes to deadline

Deadline−creation timestamp.

Calendar minutes not counted

Calendar elapsed−business allowance, without double-counting overlapping windows or pauses.
