Business days to calendar days
How long is 5 business days in calendar days?
5 business days are 1 full working week. Every block of 5 business days spans 7 calendar days when no holiday intervenes, so from any Monday-to-Friday start the result is exactly 7 calendar days later and falls on the same weekday. From Saturday it is 6 calendar days; from Sunday it is 5 calendar days, because the first counted day is Monday.
Holidays. A public holiday on a weekday inside the window is not a business day, so each listed holiday pushes the result one working day later. Deadline rules can differ by court, agency, carrier, or contract, so confirm the governing calendar before relying on a date.
Open the full business days calculator to add or subtract any number of business days, count working days between two dates, or change the weekend pattern.

5 business days FAQ
How long is 5 business days?
5 business days equal 1 full working week, so from any Monday-to-Friday start date the result is exactly 7 calendar days later and lands on the same weekday. Listed holidays add one working day each.
What date is 5 business days from today?
The calculator at the top of this page answers with today's date already filled in: 5 business days are added from today, weekends are skipped, and the exact result date and weekday are shown. Change the start date to check any other day, or add public holidays to exclude them.
Does the count include today?
No. Today is the starting point and is never counted as one of the 5 business days. The first business day counted is the next working day after the start date. From Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, counting begins on Monday unless it is a listed holiday.
What happens if a holiday falls within the 5 business days?
Each holiday that lands on a weekday inside the window pushes the result one working day later. Enter each holiday as YYYY-MM-DD in the calculator; the tool does not assume a country's public holidays, so the list you provide is the one that counts.
