72 days from today is 28 May 2025, a Wednesday. Calculating over the equivalent days of a month means multiple weeks, multiple weekends and officially crossing into April from the middle of March. Since today is Monday, we'll need to account for a full week before hitting weekend days. Key difference with adding days that span a full month is that shorter calculations might only require counting days and possibly adjusting for a single weekend. Adding 72 days across March requires us to account for multiple weekends, work schedules, and the specific nuances of being in the middle of March jumping to April.

How we calculated 72 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 72 days to today's date gets calculated on each visit:

Started with date inputs: starting point: 17 Mar, Units to add: 72 days, and year: 2025
Noted your current time of year: 14 days in middle of March
Added 72 days from current day: 17 Mar, factoring in there are 14 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: May 28

Wednesday Wednesday May 28, 2025 is the 148 day of the year or 40.55% through 2025.

Current date: 17 Mar
Day of the week: Wednesday
New Date: Wednesday May 28, 2025
New Date Day of the week: Wednesday
Factor in Easter which can fall in March some years, plus it's the end of Q1. Counting forward from here could put you into a new fiscal quarter.
This calculation crosses at least one month. Remeber, this will change our day of the week.

Ways to calculate 72 days from today

Just calculate it: Start with a time from today calculator. 72 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 Wednesday, 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 72 times by days, adding days from 17 Mar.
Use Excel: Regardless of unit type, I use day calculations here. Type =TODAY()+72 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 72 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.

72 working days from today

72 days is Wednesday May 28, 2025 or could be Wednesday June 25, 2025 if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 72 days and only adds by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Wednesday May 28, 2025 date.
