Common use cases

Calendar edge cases

Adding a month to the 31st of a month gives the last day of the next month when it has fewer days. For example, January 31 + 1 month = February 28 (or 29 in leap years). This matches how most calendar apps and human intuition work.

Questions, answered

Things people actually ask.

Enter the starting date and the number of days to add. The calculator returns the resulting calendar date, accounting for varying month lengths and leap years. Use negative numbers to subtract.
Yes — toggle 'Business days only' to skip weekends. Useful for SLA calculations, court deadlines, and project planning where weekends don't count.
Calendar-aware. If you add 1 month to January 31, you get February 28 (or 29 in a leap year), since February doesn't have a 31st. If you add 1 year to Feb 29, you get Feb 28 in non-leap years.
