5 days from today is 21 Mar 2025, a Friday. Calculating a small date like 5 days in the future is usually simple. Anything under a week can usually be done on one hand. Since today is Sunday, the calculation could get a bit more complicated if you want to account for business days becuase it's the weekend.. I usually just count days of the week. Additionally, we’re 15 days from the end of March, so being in the middle of of the month, 5 days will remain in March and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years..

How we calculated 5 days from today

All of our day calculators are measured and QA'd by our engineer. Read more about the Git process here. But here's how adding 5 days to today's date gets calculated on each visit:

Started with date inputs: starting point: 16 Mar, Units to add: 5 days, and year: 2025
Noted your current time of year: 15 days in middle of March
Added 5 days from current day: 16 Mar, factoring in there are 15 days left in before April
Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the 2025 fiscal calendar.

Tips to get your solution: March 21

Friday Friday March 21, 2025 is the 080 day of the year or 21.92% through 2025.

Current date: 16 Mar

Your date will be a weekend. Consider if you only want workdays in your calculation. Your date will be a weekend. Consider if you only want workdays in your calculation.

Ways to calculate 5 days from today

Just calculate it: Start with a time from today calculator. 5 days is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the days in + all number of days in each month and the number of days in 2025. Simply add your days and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
Use March's calendar: Begin by identifying on a calendar, note that it’s Friday, and the total days in April (trust me, you’ll need this for smaller calculations) and days until next year (double trust me, you'll need this for larger calculations). From there, count forward 5 times by days, adding days from 16 Mar.
Use Excel: Regardless of unit type, I use day calculations here. Type =TODAY()+5 into the cell. If you want to add weeks, multiply your day by 7 and months/years will take their own calculation due to the changing days of the week. To find 5 days workdays, convert to days but use =WORKDAY(TODAY(), [number of days], [holidays]) into the cell. [number of days] is how many working days you want to add, and [holidays] is an optional range of cells that contain dates of holidays to exclude.

5 working days from today

5 days is Friday March 21, 2025 or could be Sunday March 23, 2025 if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 5 days and only adds by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Friday March 21, 2025 date.
