Add or Subtract Business Days
Move a date forward or backward by a number of business days. The base date defaults to today. Switch the holiday policy to skip US federal holidays.
Resulting business day
Worked examples
- Adding 10 business days to a Monday in early January yields a Friday about two weeks later.
- Subtracting 5 business days from a Friday yields the previous Monday.
- The federal-holiday policy skips July 3, 2026 because Independence Day is observed that Friday.
- Subtracting 30 business days from a date in late June yields a date in late May, skipping Memorial Day when federal-holiday mode is active.
- Adding 90 business days to a date crosses three months and the result reflects weekend skipping only.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the Date Calculator?
The Date Calculator counts calendar days. This page counts weekdays only, with an optional US federal-holiday policy, so it is the right tool for deadlines and notice periods.
Which holidays are excluded in federal-holiday mode?
Standard observed US federal holidays, including Juneteenth from 2021 onward. This is not a company, state, school, banking, or court calendar.
Can I subtract business days from a past date?
Yes. Switch the operation to Subtract to find the date that is N business days before the base date.
Will the result match my contract or court calendar?
No. Verify any contractual deadline independently; this page implements ordinary weekday counting plus standard observed US federal holidays as documented.
