Years and months are added first, then days. If the day does not exist in the new month, the last day of that month is used, so 31 January plus one month is the last day of February. Weeks are 7 days.

Adding and subtracting dates without counting on your fingers
Dates look simple until a month end gets in the way. Thirty days after 4 November is easy. One month after 31 January is not, because February is short. This tool follows the rule most calendars and software use: move the month first, and if the day does not exist, use the last day of that month.
Where this comes up: a 90-day notice period, a warranty that runs 12 months, a loan that matures in 18 months, a medicine course of 21 days, or a return window of 30 days from delivery. For many of these, it is worth checking whether the document counts the start day, because some contracts do and some do not. This tool does not count it.
A few quick checks. 4 November 2026 plus 2 weeks and 3 days is Saturday, 21 November 2026. Adding 41 days lands on Tuesday, 15 December 2026, and going back 41 days gives Thursday, 24 September 2026. The weekday is shown with the answer so that you can see at once if a deadline falls on a weekend.
If you need business days, the answer will differ, because weekends and public holidays are skipped. The working days calculator handles weekends. Public holidays vary by country and are not included anywhere here.
