Calculate deadlines: calendar days, business days or exact dates

The right calculator depends on how a deadline is defined, and which holidays or weekends count.

Calendar or business days?

Use date duration when every day counts. Use business days when weekends or a specified holiday calendar must be excluded. Confirm whether the first and last dates count.

Find the actual due date

For a deadline expressed as a number of days from a start date, use the add/subtract calculator. For a workday deadline, use the appropriate business-day calculation and verify the calendar.

Time zones

For a deadline tied to a local time, convert on the exact date. Daylight saving changes mean a fixed difference between two cities is not always correct.
