How to use this calculator

  1. Choose the date you are counting from.
  2. Enter how many working days to add or subtract.
  3. Pick the direction and your UK region, then read the resulting date.

How the calculation works

  • The calculator steps forward or backward one calendar day at a time.
  • A day only counts when it is a weekday and not a bank holiday in the selected region.
  • Counting stops as soon as the requested number of working days has been reached.

Things to keep in mind

  • If your deadline is set in calendar days rather than working days, use a plain date calculator instead.
  • Contracts sometimes define working days as excluding only weekends — check the wording.
  • These results are for general guidance. See our disclaimer — this is not legal, tax or financial advice.

Frequently asked questions

What date is 10 working days from today?

Leave the start date as today, enter 10 and choose 'after'. The calculator skips the weekends and any bank holidays in between.

Can I count backwards?

Yes. Choose 'working days before the start date' to find a deadline that must be met in advance.

Is the start date counted as day one?

No. Day one is the next working day after the start date.
