How this add business days calculator works
This calculator starts from your selected date and moves forward or backward one day at a time. Only weekdays count toward the result. Saturdays and Sundays are skipped automatically.
Resulting date = start date ± selected weekdays (excluding Saturday and Sunday)
Use it for project planning, turnaround time estimates, payment processing windows, and scheduling work that depends on weekdays instead of calendar days.
Examples
Example 2
If the starting date is Friday and you add 1 business day, the resulting date is Monday because the weekend is skipped.
Example 3
If the starting date is Wednesday and you subtract 3 business days, the resulting date is the previous Friday.
