How weeks are shown
The calculator gives you total days and also converts that to weeks. For example:
If total days = 20 → 2 weeks and 6 days
If total days = 21 → 3 weeks
It’s just division with a remainder: weeks = floor(days ÷ 7)extra days = days mod 7.
Examples
- Semester block: Aug 26 → Dec 13 (exclusive) = weeks + days for your syllabus.
- Training plan: 12 weeks from start → set the end date so the result shows exactly 12 weeks.
- Pregnancy timeline: Use weeks + days to track progress in a familiar format.
Quick tip: If your end day should count (e.g.“through Friday”)switch to Inclusive before you calculate.
Business weeks (weekdays only)
- Turn on workdays only (Mon–Fri) to remove weekends.
- Turn on exclude U.S. holidays to remove observed federal holidays.
Edge cases
