About Date Calculator

Compare dates or add days, weeks and business days with your own holidays.

Calculate calendar intervals without daylight-saving shifts. Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding the holiday dates you enter. The starting date is excluded and the ending date is included.

How to use it

  1. Choose difference or addition and enter the starting date.
  2. Enter the ending date or an amount; negative amounts subtract.
  3. For business days, list holidays as YYYY-MM-DD, one per line.

Common use cases

  • Plan delivery windows, study periods and project milestones using an explicit holiday calendar.

Worked example

Friday 2026-09-04 plus one business day is Monday 2026-09-07, or Tuesday if Monday is entered as a holiday.

Limitations and responsible use

  • No national holidays are assumed. Dates range from year 0001 to 9999; additions are limited to 100,000 units in either direction. This is a calendar calculation, not a jurisdiction-specific deadline rule.

Frequently asked questions

Does the first date count?

No. Equal dates have a difference of zero. Adding zero returns the starting date, even on a weekend.
