How the date is worked out

Start from the start date and step one day at a time. A day counts only if it is Monday to Friday and, with the holiday option on, not a federal-holiday day off. Stop when you have counted the number you asked for. The start date itself is not counted.

Result = the Nth day after the start that is Mon–Fri and not a holiday

Counting back works the same way, one day earlier each step. 0 business days returns the start date.

Example: 5 business days from a Monday

Start: Mon, Mar 2, 2026.

  1. Tue Mar 3 (1), Wed Mar 4 (2), Thu Mar 5 (3), Fri Mar 6 (4). Sat and Sun are skipped.
  2. Mon Mar 9 (5).
  3. Result: Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 7 calendar days later.

Example: a holiday in the way

Start: Mon, Dec 21, 2026, 5 business days, holidays skipped [1].

  1. Tue Dec 22 (1), Wed Dec 23 (2), Thu Dec 24 (3). Fri Dec 25 is Christmas Day: skipped. Sat and Sun skipped.
  2. Mon Dec 28 (4), Tue Dec 29 (5).
  3. Result: Tue, Dec 29, 2026. With holidays switched off it would be Mon, Dec 28, 2026.

Example: a holiday observed on a Friday

Independence Day 2026 is Saturday, July 4, so the day off is Friday, July 3 [1]. Start: Thu, Jul 2, 2026, 1 business day.

  1. Fri Jul 3 is the day off: skipped. Sat Jul 4 and Sun Jul 5 skipped.
  2. Result: Mon, Jul 6, 2026.

Holiday data covers Thu, Jan 1, 2026 to Fri, Dec 31, 2027. The table above shows the dates for 1 to 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60 and 90 business days in one view.

Questions

Is today counted?

No. Counting starts with the next business day, so 1 business day from a Monday is Tuesday. Choose “Before” to count backwards instead.

Where does today’s date come from?

From your device’s clock, in your browser. This page is a fixed file with no dates for “today” in it, so the answer is always for the day you open it.

What counts as a business day?

Monday to Friday, and with the holiday option on, not a US federal holiday. Federal holidays are the 11 named in 5 U.S.C. 6103 [2], on the days off OPM lists for 2026 and 2027 [1].

What if a holiday falls on a weekend?

The day off moves, to the Friday before a Saturday holiday and the Monday after a Sunday one [1][2]. The calculator skips that weekday.

My bank, court or employer has different closures. What then?

Turn the holiday option off, or use the working days calculator, which accepts your own days off. Calendars differ between organizations; check yours.

What if the date runs past 2027?

Weekends are still skipped, but holiday data stops at the end of 2027, and the calculator warns you when a result reaches beyond it.
