How to add or subtract days from a date

Choose a starting date, select Add or Subtract, and enter the number of calendar days. The result shows the exact date and weekday. Turn on Count the starting date when your rule treats the starting date as day 1.

Result date = starting date ± calendar-day offset

Common date offsets

Use the quick buttons above the results for 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 180 or 365 days. These are calendar days, so Saturdays, Sundays and holidays are included.

OffsetCommon use
7 or 14 daysShort follow-up dates and two-week periods
30 or 60 daysDeadlines, notices and future-date planning
90 daysQuarter-length calendar offsets
365 daysOne-year calendar-date checks

Example

If September 16, 2026 is the starting date and you add 30 days without counting the starting date, the result is October 16, 2026. If a deadline specifically counts the starting date as day 1, use the inclusive option.

Calendar days vs. business days

This tool uses calendar days. For weekdays only, use the business days calculator. To compare two existing dates, use the days between dates calculator or weeks between dates calculator.

Understand inclusive and exclusive date counting

Start on January 1, 2026 and add 30 days. Standard date arithmetic gives January 31, 2026 because January 1 is day zero. If you choose to count the starting date as day one, day 30 is January 30, 2026.

What this does not do: ordinary day offsets include Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. If you need only Monday–Friday dates, use the Business Days Calculator. Always confirm deadline rules separately where a contract, court, or agency uses its own counting convention.

Frequently asked questions

Does this calculator include weekends?

Yes. It adds or subtracts calendar days, including weekends.

Can I subtract days?

Yes. Choose Subtract instead of entering a negative number.

What does count the starting date mean?

When enabled, the starting date is treated as day 1, so a 30-day inclusive count ends one calendar day earlier than a standard 30-day offset.

Common dates people calculate

Use the calculator above for any offset. These common calendar-day intervals are especially useful for deadlines, follow-ups, return windows, project schedules and planning.

Future date or past date?

Enter a positive number of days to move forward from the starting date or choose subtraction to move backward. The result shows the calendar date and weekday so you can verify the target day at a glance.

Calendar days are different from business days

This calculator counts every calendar day, including Saturdays and Sundays. If you need weekdays only, use the Business Days Calculator. For differences between two known dates, use the Days Between Dates Calculator.
