How 120 business days from today is counted
Start from today and move forward one day at a time, counting only Monday to Friday, until 120 business days have been counted; the day you land on is the answer. Today is day zero and is never counted, whatever day of the week it is, so 120 business days from a Saturday or a Sunday is the same date as from the Friday before. The second figure runs the same count but also steps over the US federal holidays, the 11 days a year that the Office of Personnel Management lists for federal pay and leave, on the Friday or Monday that stands in for a holiday on a weekend. The holiday list here covers 2026 and 2027.
120 business days is exactly 24 working weeks, about 5.5 months, a long enough span that the weekday you start on barely matters next to the holidays inside it. Between 2026 and 2027 the federal calendar has 11 holidays a year, so a 168 day window can easily hold three or four of them, and the holiday-adjusted date can land a full working week after the weekdays-only one.
120 business days from each day of the week
With no holiday in the window, how long 120 business days takes depends only on the day you start. From a Sunday it is 166 calendar days; from a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the count crosses one more weekend and takes 168.
| Start on | Lands on | Calendar days | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | Monday | 168 | Crosses one more weekend |
| Tuesday | Tuesday | 168 | Crosses one more weekend |
| Wednesday | Wednesday | 168 | Crosses one more weekend |
| Thursday | Thursday | 168 | Crosses one more weekend |
| Friday | Friday | 168 | Crosses one more weekend |
| Saturday | Friday | 167 | Counting starts on the Monday |
| Sunday | Friday | 166 | Counting starts on the Monday |

120 business days in calendar days, weeks and months
120 business days is exactly 24 working weeks. On the calendar that is 166 to 168 days before holidays, or about 5.5 months at the longer end. The reverse is not symmetrical: 120 calendar days from a Monday hold only 86 business days, because 34 of those days fall on a weekend. So "120 days" and "120 business days" in a notice or a contract are different deadlines, and the longer one is always the business day version. For the plain calendar count, the days between dates calculator gives 120 calendar days from today and the span in weeks.
120 business days from today in a spreadsheet
In Excel or Google Sheets, =WORKDAY(TODAY(), 120) returns the weekdays-only date, and =WORKDAY(TODAY(), 120, A1:A11) skips the holiday dates listed in A1 to A11 as well. WORKDAY counts the way this page does: the start date is not counted, weekends are skipped, and any date in the holiday range is stepped over. Format the result cell as a date, and use NETWORKDAYS when you have both dates and want the count instead.
Count 120 business days from another date
Open the business days calculator with 120 business days filled in and change the start date to the day a notice arrived or an order shipped. Paste in your own holidays, or switch to a Friday and Saturday weekend, and the date moves as you type. The working days in 2026 and 2027 pages show every month's working days with the same federal holidays, if you are counting to the end of a month or a quarter rather than 120 days ahead.
Questions people ask
What date is 120 business days from today?
This page counts it from today's date in your browser: 120 weekdays ahead, with today as day zero, and separately with the US federal holidays skipped as well. Without holidays the date is 166 to 168 calendar days away, depending on the weekday you start on; each federal holiday in the window adds one more day. If you need the date from another start day, the business days calculator takes any date.
Does 120 business days from today include today?
No. Today is day zero, so the first business day is the next weekday, and 120 business days from a Friday is the Friday 24 weeks later. That is how "within 120 business days of receipt" is normally read. If the document you have counts the first day, take one off the count before you look it up.
How many calendar days is 120 business days?
Between 166 and 168 calendar days: 166 starting on a Sunday, 168 starting on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, with no holidays in the way. 120 business days is exactly 24 working weeks. In the other direction, 120 calendar days from a Monday contain only 86 business days.
Is 120 working days from today the same as 120 business days?
On this page, yes: both mean Monday to Friday with weekends skipped, and the second figure also skips US federal holidays. Some contracts define a business day more narrowly, such as days a bank or a court is open, and some countries use a different weekend; the business days calculator lets you set the weekend and your own holidays.
Which holidays are skipped in the 120 business days with holidays figure?
The 11 US federal holidays the Office of Personnel Management lists for 2026 and 2027: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, on the weekday OPM observes them. State holidays and company closures are not included, so check the calendar your deadline follows.
