How to add or subtract days

  1. Choose the start date. It starts with today.
  2. Pick Add to go forward in time, or Subtract to go back.
  3. Enter any mix of years, months, weeks and days, or tap a quick pick like 90 days.
  4. Tick Working days only if weekends should not count.

The result shows the new date, the day of the week and how many calendar days away it is.

When this comes in handy

How months are added

Adding a month keeps the same day number when it exists. 15 March plus one month is 15 April. When the new month is shorter, the result moves to its last day, so 31 March plus one month is 30 April. If you need an exact number of days instead, use the Days box: 30 days from 31 March is 30 April, but 30 days from 31 January is 2 March.

Frequently asked questions

What is 90 days from today?

Click the "90 days" button and the date appears straight away. The answer changes every day, which is why a calculator is easier than counting on a calendar.

What happens when I add a month to 31 January?

February has no 31st, so the result is the last day of February: 28 February, or 29 February in a leap year. This is the same rule most banks and calendar apps use.

What does "Working days only" do?

It skips Saturdays and Sundays when counting the days, so 5 working days from a Friday lands on the next Friday. Public holidays are not skipped, because they differ from country to country.

Can I combine years, months, weeks and days?

Yes. Fill in any mix. Years and months are added first, then weeks, then days.
