Adding a fixed number of days is unambiguous arithmetic. No month lengths, no clamping. A hundred days from Thursday 1 January 2026 is Saturday 11 April 2026.

How to add a day count

1 Set the starting date, or leave it on today.
2 Enter the number of days. The presets cover the terms that actually get quoted: 7, 30, 90, 100 and 365.
3 Read the resulting date with its weekday. The weekday is usually what decides whether a deadline is workable.
4 Switch the direction to subtract rather than typing a negative number.

Fixed day counts turn up wherever a period must be unambiguous. Ninety-day payment terms, thirty-day returns windows and hundred-day political milestones are all day counts precisely because they cannot be argued about; a calendar month depends on which month, and a fixed count does not. The trade-off is drift, and it is predictable enough to use. Because a week is seven days, the weekday shifts by the remainder after dividing by seven: 7 and 14 land on the same weekday, 30 moves forward two, 90 moves forward six and so lands one weekday earlier, and 100 moves forward two. That is why a quarterly 90-day billing cycle creeps backwards through the week and eventually falls at a weekend. Adding 365 is the one case that looks safe and is not: it returns the same date only if no 29 February falls inside the span. From 1 March 2027, 365 days is 29 February 2028 rather than 1 March.
