How do you calculate 120 days from today?
120 days are counted in calendar days, with today as day 0. The calculator adds 120 days to the start date (today unless you change it), or subtracts it in “before” mode, using plain Gregorian calendar dates with no time zone. Working days are weekdays that are not US federal holidays, counted after the start date up to and including the end date. Federal holidays use the observed date, so a Saturday holiday is observed on Friday and a Sunday holiday on Monday. If the result falls on a weekend or a federal holiday, the next working day is shown too. Employer, state and bank holidays are not included.
For example, 120 days after Monday, February 1, 2027: 120 days is 17 weeks and 1 day, so the weekday moves 1 day and the date is Tuesday, June 1, 2027. Of the 120 days after the start, 86 are weekdays and 2 of those weekdays are federal holidays, which leaves 84 working days. The dates are made up for the example; yours start from today or from the date you enter.
