What's the date 72 days from today?

Solution

Sunday July 28, 2024

72 days from today is 28 Jul 2024, a Sunday. Calculating over the equivalent days of a month means multiple weeks, multiple weekends and officially crossing into June from the middle of May. 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. 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 May requires us to account for multiple weekends, work schedules, and the specific nuances of being in the middle of May jumping to June.

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 May, Units to add: 72 days, and year: 2024
Noted your current time of year: 14 days in middle of May
Added 72 days from current day: 17 May, factoring in there are 14 days left in before June
Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the 2024 fiscal calendar.

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 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 May's calendar: Begin by identifying on a calendar, note that it’s Sunday, and the total days in June (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 May.
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 Sunday July 28, 2024 or could be Sunday August 25, 2024 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 Sunday July 28, 2024 date.
