Add Workdays to Date

How the workday-advance algorithm works: Starting from the given date, the calculator advances one day at a time. If the day is a Saturday or Sunday, it skips. Otherwise it increments the workday counter. When the counter reaches the target number, the loop stops and returns the resulting date with its weekday name. This means starting on Friday and adding 1 workday gives Monday. Starting on Saturday also gives Monday, since the first weekday counted is the following Monday.

Weekend handling and starting-day rules: When the start date falls on a weekend, counting begins from the next weekday. Saturday 09/11 plus 1 workday gives Monday 09/14. Friday 09/11 plus 1 workday gives Monday 09/14 as well, since the weekend is skipped. This matches how businesses count shipping promises and SLA windows. Austin tech firms use 5-day sprint calculations from 09/11 to 09/18. Chicago logistics firms add 3 days to 01/06 to get 01/09 for $80,000 shipments.

Shipping and SLA scenarios: Austin tech teams compute 5-day $15,000 sprint deadlines from 09/11 to 09/18. Chicago logistics firms add 3 business days to $80,000 shipment dates. Miami event planners compute 10-day $25,000 booking confirmations from 07/01 to 07/15. Denver construction crews add 15 days to $300,000 permit applications from 03/10 to 03/31. Seattle ports compute 7-day $100,000 cargo clearances from 11/05 to 11/14. New York firms add 30 days to $10,000 retainer starts from 06/15 to 07/27.

Delivery promises and contract deadlines: E-commerce sites use this to show customers estimated delivery dates. A Wednesday order with 3-day shipping arrives the next Monday. A Friday order with 1-day shipping arrives Monday. This prevents misleading promises that include weekends. Miami retailers use it for $5,000 per-order delivery guarantees. Austin SaaS companies use it for 2-day $800 support-response SLAs. Chicago manufacturers use it for 10-day $20,000 production timelines. Denver firms use it for 5-day $5,000 invoice-payment windows.

Holiday considerations and edge cases: The calculator skips weekends only, not federal holidays. For holiday-aware counting, manually add extra days around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year. The tool handles month and year boundaries correctly. December 30 plus 3 workdays gives January 2 of the next year. All computation runs locally with no uploads, keeping scheduling data private and secure.
