How to Calculate a Date a Specific Number of Days From Today

Sometimes, you may need to find the date a certain number of days from today, for example, to plan a deadline, schedule an event or track progress. There are several simple ways to calculate this.

The process is similar to counting the number of days until your birthday, except instead of counting down, you’ll be counting forward.

Method One: Calculate the Date Manually

The simplest way is to use a calendar. Start with today’s date, then move forward one day at a time until you’ve counted the total number of days you need.

Be sure to switch to the next month once you reach the end of the current one, and remember that not all months have the same number of days. You can check out our months to days converter to help with this.

This method works well for short time spans, but it becomes tedious for larger numbers, for example, finding the date 60 days from today.

Method Two: Use Spreadsheet Software

You can also calculate a future date easily with spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.

  1. Enter a starting date in any cell for example, A1.
  2. In another cell, type this formula:
  3. This adds 60 days to the date in cell A1.
  4. To find a different interval, simply replace 60 with any other number of days.
  5. If your date is in a different cell, update A1 in the formula to match that cell.
  6. This approach is quick, accurate and ideal for recurring date calculations.
Formula: =A1 + 60

Method Three: Use an Online Calculator

For the fastest and easiest method, use one of our online tools. Our time duration calculator or the calculator above lets you add or subtract any number of days from a chosen start date.
