When to use it

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I add 1 month to Jan 31st?
This tool uses the browser's native date rollover behavior for month changes, so end-of-month inputs can roll into the following month rather than clipping to the last day of February.
Does it count weekends?
This calculator adds *calendar* days, so weekends are included. To skip weekends, use the 'Business Days Calculator'.
How do I calculate '90 days from today'?
Set Start Date to Today, Operation to 'Add', Amount to '90', and Unit to 'Days'.
