What's the date 42 days from today?

Solution

Thursday May 22, 2025

Date Range: 42 days

42 days from today is 22 May 2025, a Thursday. Calculating over the equivalent days of a month means multiple weeks, multiple weekends and officially crossing into May from the middle of April. Since today is Thursday, we'll have to adjust for the weekend, if you care about the number of work days. 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 42 days across April requires us to account for multiple weekends, work schedules, and the specific nuances of being in the middle of April jumping to May.

How we calculated 42 days from today

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 42 days to today's date gets calculated on each visit:

Started with date inputs: starting point: 10 Apr, Units to add: 42 days, and year: 2025
Noted your current time of year: 20 days in middle of April
Added 42 days from current day: 10 Apr, factoring in there are 20 days left in before May
Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the 2025 fiscal calendar.

Ways to calculate 42 days from today

Just calculate it: Start with a time from today calculator. 42 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 2025. 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 April's calendar: Begin by identifying on a calendar, note that it’s Thursday, and the total days in May (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 42 times by days, adding days from 10 Apr.
Use Excel: Regardless of unit type, I use day calculations here. Type =TODAY()+42 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 42 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.

42 days is Thursday May 22, 2025 or could be Saturday June 07, 2025 if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 42 days and only adds by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Thursday May 22, 2025 date.
