Business Days vs Calendar Days

Important Notes
This date calculator provides accurate calculations based on the Gregorian calendar. Business day calculations exclude weekends but do not account for public holidays, which vary by country and region.
When adding or subtracting months, the calculator handles month-end dates intelligently. For example, adding one month to January 31st results in the last day of February.
For legal or contractual purposes, always verify date calculations with relevant authorities or legal counsel, as different jurisdictions may have specific rules for calculating deadlines and time periods.
