Calculator Inputs
Formula Used
Calendar mode:
Target Date = Start Date ± N days
If you include the start date, the calculator uses N - 1 additional days.
Business mode:
The calculator moves one day at a time.
It counts only working days.
Weekend rules and custom holidays are skipped during the count.
The 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day checkpoints use the same counting method as your final target. That keeps milestone planning consistent across the full timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does this 90 Day Calculator do?
It finds a date 90 days ahead or behind a selected start date. It also shows 30-day and 60-day checkpoints, supports business-day counting, and lets you export results.
2. What is the difference between calendar and business mode?
Calendar mode counts every day. Business mode skips the weekend pattern you choose and ignores any holiday dates you add. That makes it useful for planning work schedules and deadlines.
3. What happens when I include the start date?
Including the start date treats that starting day as day one. In calendar mode, that means the calculator adds one fewer extra days. In business mode, the start day counts only if it is a working day.
4. Can I count backward instead of forward?
Yes. Choose the backward option to move earlier from your selected date. This is helpful when you know the final deadline and want to locate review, preparation, or planning milestones.
5. Can I change the weekend pattern?
Yes. You can use Saturday and Sunday, Sunday only, Friday and Saturday, or no weekend exclusion. That helps the calculator match local workweeks and different operating schedules.
6. Why are custom holidays useful?
Custom holidays let you skip special non-working dates in business mode. They improve planning accuracy for office closures, public holidays, training breaks, and shutdown periods.
7. What do the export buttons include?
The CSV and PDF downloads include your summary details, checkpoint timeline, and example data table. This makes it easier to save results, share reports, or keep a dated planning record.
8. Is this calculator only for exactly 90 days?
No. It is optimized for 30, 60, and 90-day planning, but you can enter another day count. The calculator will still compute the correct target date using your selected rules.
