Turning a date into a plan
A date on the calendar does not feel urgent until you turn it into days. Thirty days sounds like plenty. It is 4 weeks and 2 days, or 22 working days, and a lot of those evaporate.
That is what the tool shows. If your target date is 30 days away, there are 720 hours, 22 weekdays and 8 weekend days. If you are preparing for an exam, the working-day figure is a rough ceiling on study days. For a trip or wedding, the weeks figure helps you set payment and shopping milestones.
A sensible way to use it: pick your date, count the working days, and divide your work across them, leaving the last week free for slips. A ten-chapter syllabus in 22 working days is about 2 days a chapter, with revision tacked on.
The count is of calendar days from today and does not include today. Public holidays are not taken off, so subtract them yourself for a tighter number.

Is today counted?

How do I plan with the result?
Divide the days by the number of tasks, or use the weeks figure for weekly targets.
