5 weeks from today will be 31 Aug 2024, a Saturday. When planning across a month or multiple months, we must account for the 31 days in July. We’re 4 days from the end of July, so being in the end of the month, adding multiple weeks will put us into the end of of August and potentially into the next quarter.

How we calculated 5 weeks 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 weeks to today's date gets calculated on each visit:

Started with date inputs: starting point: 27 Jul, Units to add: 5 weeks, and year: 2024
Noted your current time of year: 4 days in end of July
Added 5 weeks from current day: 27 Jul, factoring in there are 4 days left in before August
Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the 2024 fiscal calendar.

Tips to get your solution: August 31

Saturday Saturday August 31, 2024 is the 244 day of the year or 66.85% through 2024.

Current date: 27 Jul
Day of the week: Saturday

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 weeks from today

Just calculate it: Start with a time from today calculator. 5 weeks 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 2024. Simply add your weeks and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
Use July's calendar: Begin by identifying on a calendar, note that it’s Saturday, and the total days in August (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 weeks, adding weeks from 27 Jul.
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 weeks 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 weeks from today

5 weeks is Saturday August 31, 2024 or could be Saturday September 14, 2024 if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 5 weeks and only adds by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Saturday August 31, 2024 date.
