Date Addition Calculator

Add days, weeks, months or years to a date.

About Date Addition Calculator

Month arithmetic must clamp the day to the target month length, so 31 January plus one month lands on the end of February. Because of that clamping, the order in which months and days are added changes the result. This non-associativity is why contract dates should specify the calculation order rather than just the interval.

Formula

Date Addition

Add months first with day clamping, then add the remaining days

day clamping
31 January plus one month becomes 28 or 29 February
order of operations
Adding months then days differs from adding days then months

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 6 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 3 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
