Frequently asked questions

How does business-day mode handle a weekend start?

It steps forward (or backward) one calendar day at a time and only counts Monday–Friday landings, so starting on a Saturday, +1 business day gives the following Monday.

Can I subtract days?

Yes — enter a negative number of days and the calculator moves backwards from the start date.
