Calendar-day mode adds/subtracts N days directly. Business-day mode moves day-by-day, counting only days that are not marked as weekend days and not listed as holidays. The start date itself is not counted—adding 1 returns the next counted day.

Examples

  • Start 2026-03-01, +10 calendar days → 2026-03-11
  • Start 2026-03-06 (Fri), +1 business day with Sat/Sun weekends → 2026-03-09 (Mon)
  • Start 2026-03-03, -5 business days → date 5 business days earlier

FAQ

  • What does this calculator do?

    It adds or subtracts a number of days from a start date. You can count either calendar days or business days (excluding selected weekend days and optional holidays).

  • What are business days here?

    By default, business days are Monday–Friday (Sat/Sun excluded). You can customize which weekdays count as weekends and provide a holiday list to exclude.

  • Is the start date included in the count?

    No. The calculator moves forward/backward by N counted days starting from the next/previous day. For example, adding 1 day returns the next counted day.

  • How do I enter holidays?

    Paste dates in YYYY-MM-DD format (one per line or comma-separated). Holidays that fall on an otherwise counted day are excluded when business-day mode is enabled.

  • Is any data stored?

    No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Inputs are not stored or transmitted.
