6 months from today is 25 Oct 2024, a Friday. Adding 6 months in the future is usually just counting from April; however, longer calculations will push us from 2024 into 2025. Even if the calculation remains within the year, I usually take note of the 5 days left in the end of April, to prep for

Started with date inputs: starting point: 25 Apr, Units to add: 6 months, and year: 2024

Ways to calculate 6 months from today

Just calculate it: Start with a time from today calculator. 6 months 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 months and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
Use April's calendar: Begin by identifying on a calendar, note that it’s Friday, and the total days in May (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 6 times by months, adding months from 25 Apr.
Use Excel: Regardless of unit type, I use day calculations here. Type =TODAY()+6 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 6 months 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.

6 working months from today

6 months is Friday October 25, 2024 or could be Friday January 10, 2025 if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 6 months and only adds by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Friday October 25, 2024 date.
