About this calculator
This calculator moves forward or backward by a number of working days — skipping Saturdays and Sundays — from a start date, and returns the resulting date and its weekday. It is the tool for "5 business days from today" style deadlines used in shipping, contracts and settlement dates.
Frequently asked questions
Is the start date counted as day zero?
Yes. Counting begins on the next working day, so "one business day after" a Friday is the following Monday, not the Friday itself.
Why is the calendar span larger than the business days?
Because weekends are skipped but still elapse. Ten business days forward spans fourteen calendar days once the two intervening weekends are included.
How does the holidays field work?
Any holidays you enter are skipped in addition to the business days, pushing the result further out — useful when a public holiday falls inside the span.
