Enter a start date and the number of business days to add, and the Next Business Day Calculator returns the resulting target business date — automatically skipping weekends and U.S. federal holidays. You can also choose whether Saturday counts as a workday and whether to add or subtract business days.

A business day is any weekday — Monday through Friday — that is not a public holiday. Saturdays and Sundays are typically excluded, though some industries treat Saturday as a working day. This calculator lets you choose whether Saturday counts as a business day.
When you enable the 'Skip U.S. Federal Holidays' option, the calculator excludes the 11 official U.S. federal holidays including New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Observed dates (e.g. when a holiday falls on a weekend) are accounted for.
U.S. federal holidays that land on a Saturday are typically observed the preceding Friday, and those falling on a Sunday are observed the following Monday. This calculator uses the observed dates so no business day is accidentally counted as a workday.
Yes. Use the 'Add or Subtract' dropdown to choose '(−) Subtract' and the calculator will count backwards the specified number of business days from your start date, skipping weekends and holidays in reverse.
The holiday list in this calculator is based on U.S. federal holidays. For international use, select 'No — Count Holidays as Workdays' to disable holiday skipping, and the calculator will still correctly skip weekends based on your Saturday setting.
Yes. The underlying date logic fully handles leap years, so February 29th and multi-year spans are calculated correctly without any manual adjustment needed.
Simply enter your start date and the total number of business days — the calculator will count forward or backward across year boundaries, applying the correct holiday dates for each year in the span.
No. The start date is the reference point and counting begins from the following (or preceding) business day. For example, adding 1 business day to a Monday returns Tuesday, assuming no holidays.
