Frequently Asked Questions

What does Deadline Calculator do?

Deadline Calculator helps you calculate target dates by adding days or business days to a start date, or find how many days remain until a deadline.

What are business days?

Business days are weekdays from Monday to Friday. When calculating with business days, weekends (Saturday and Sunday) are skipped.

Does it include holidays?

No, the calculator only skips weekends when counting business days. It does not account for public holidays, which vary by country and region.

What does "include start/end date" mean?

When "include start date" is on, the start day counts as day 1. When "include end date" is on, the end date is included in the count. This affects the total by one day.

Can I share a deadline link?

Yes! Click "Copy link" to copy a URL with your settings encoded. Anyone opening that link will see your exact calculation.

Why is my result different from other tools?

Different tools may include or exclude the start/end date differently. Use the include toggles to match your preferred counting method.

Does it handle leap years?

Yes, the calculator correctly handles leap years and varying month lengths using JavaScript's built-in Date object.

What timezone does it use?

The calculator uses your browser's local timezone. All dates are treated as local dates at midnight.
