Formula
End Date = Start Date + N weekdays (skip Saturday & Sunday)
Starting from the chosen date, the calculator advances one day at a time, counting only Monday to Friday until N working days have been added. The start date itself is not counted as day 1.
Worked Example
Scenario 1 — 10 business days from today:
A shipment is dispatched on Monday 6 October. The courier quotes a 10 business day delivery window.
Start: Mon 6 Oct • +10 business days
Skip: Sat 11 / Sun 12 Oct • Skip: Sat 18 / Sun 19 Oct
Result: Wednesday 22 October
Scenario 2 — 2 business days from Thursday:
A support ticket is raised on Thursday. The SLA requires a 2-business-day response.
Start: Thursday • Day 1: Friday • Day 2: Monday (weekend skipped)
Deadline: Monday
Starting on Friday? Day 1 = Monday, Day 2 = Tuesday — the weekend consumes both intervening days.
Scenario 3 — Net 14 business days invoice:
An invoice is issued on Wednesday 1 October. Payment terms are Net 14 business days.
14 weekdays from Wed 1 Oct = Tuesday 21 October
Two weekends (4/5 Oct and 11/12 Oct) are skipped automatically.
Common Mistakes
- Treating the start date as day 1. It is day 0. The first business day counted is the next weekday after your start date.
- Mixing up business days and calendar days. Net 30 calendar days is faster than Net 30 business days (which equals roughly 6 weeks).
- Not accounting for bank holidays. This tool skips weekends only. A result landing on a public holiday may not be a valid working day.
