What's the date 5 days from today?

Solution

Thursday April 24, 2025

Date Range: 5 days

5 days from today is 24 Apr 2025, a Thursday. Calculating a small date like 5 days in the future is usually simple. Anything under a week can usually be done on one hand. Since today is Saturday, the calculation could be adjusted for work days. But If you just want the overall days, nothing will change.. I usually just count days of the week. Additionally, we’re 11 days from the end of April, so being in the middle of of the month, 5 days will remain in April and we don’t need to worry about adjusting months or years..

How we calculated 5 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 5 days to today's date gets calculated on each visit:

Started with date inputs: starting point: 19 Apr, Units to add: 5 days, and year: 2025
Noted your current time of year: 11 days in middle of April
Added 5 days from current day: 19 Apr, factoring in there are 11 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.

Tips to get your solution: April 24

Thursday Thursday April 24, 2025 is the 114 day of the year or 31.23% through 2025.

April is the start of Q2. Counting dates from here will push you further into the fiscal year. (And taxes are due)

Ways to calculate 5 days from today

Just calculate it: Start with a time from today calculator. 5 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 5 times by days, adding days from 19 Apr.
Use Excel: Regardless of unit type, I use day calculations here. Type =TODAY()+5 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 5 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.

5 working days from today

5 days is Thursday April 24, 2025 or could be Saturday April 26, 2025 if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 5 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 April 24, 2025 date.
