What's the date 8 days from today?

Solution

Saturday May 04, 2024

if 8 days from today is 04 May 2024, a Saturday. Calculating if 8 days from today takes us beyond a simple week, making the process slightly more intricate. Since today is Friday, well need to account for the weekend if you care about work days. If not, the calculation will remain the same. For an 8-day span, we’ll now cross over a week, and candidly, I usually care about work days so I would account for them. Moving forward by over a week from April means we also navigate closer to May, as we’re still in the early part of this month.

How we calculated 8 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 8 days to today's date gets calculated on each visit:

Started with date inputs: starting point: 26 Apr, Units to add: 8 days, and year: 2024
Noted your current time of year: 8 days in early part of April will remain in April and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years. (Or far beyond).
Added 8 days from current day: 26 Apr, factoring in there are 26 days left in before May
Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the 2024 fiscal calendar.

Ways to calculate 8 days from today

Just calculate it: Start with a time from today calculator. 8 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 2024. 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 April's calendar: Begin by identifying on a calendar, note that it’s Saturday, 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 8 times by days, adding days from 26 Apr.
Use Excel: Regardless of unit type, I use day calculations here. Type =TODAY()+8 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 8 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.
