Date scheduling tools

Scheduling tools handle date arithmetic that respects business conventions: skipping weekends, accounting for public holidays in a specific country, computing the date you need to start work to hit a known deadline. Plain calendar math gets these wrong because "10 days from now" is a different answer for a contractor (10 calendar days), an employer (10 working days), or a courier (10 working days excluding holidays in the destination country).

The working days calculator counts the gap between two dates in working days only (skipping Saturdays and Sundays), with optional country holiday tables for the US, UK, EU, and a handful of other major regions. Switch off the country toggle for a pure five-business-days-per-week count if your context doesn't need a specific holiday calendar. The deadline calculator works in reverse — pick a deadline and a number of working days needed, and it tells you the latest start date that still gets you there.

Use these tools for project scoping, contract turnaround estimates, and shipping deadline math. The holiday tables here are accurate as of the most recent published government calendars but are not guaranteed against last-minute changes (snap holidays, regional one-offs) — for legally-binding deadlines, double-check against the authoritative source for your jurisdiction.
