Counting backward, the calculation skips every Saturday, every Sunday and every observed U.S. federal holiday, which stretches 20 business days over 30 calendar days (4 weeks and 2 days). The result is 4 days ago."]],["The counting rule",["A business day is a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is not an observed federal holiday under 5 U.S.C. 6103. The start day is never counted: day one is the next business day before the start date. The start date, Sunday, is not a business day (weekend), so counting begins from the next business day. Holidays that fall on a Saturday are observed on the Friday before and those on a Sunday on the Monday after, and the calculator follows that rule."]],["Holidays and weekends skipped",["The range contains 1 federal holiday on weekdays: Columbus Day (Mon, Oct 12). Together with 10 weekend days, these account for the 10 calendar days that do not count as business days."]],["When this may differ from your deadline",["Federal holidays are not the only closures. Banks, the Federal Reserve, stock exchanges, courts, states, schools and employers publish their own calendars, and some count Saturdays or exclude extra days. Contracts also differ on whether the first day counts. Treat this date as a well-defined federal-calendar answer and check it against the exact wording of your agreement or the rules of the agency involved."]],["Result date and planning",["The calculation starts on Sunday, November 1, 2026 and produces Friday, October 2, 2026. The result is the date to use for the next milestone; business-day calculations follow the stated holiday and weekend convention."]]],"summary":"20 business days Before November 1, 2026: October 2, 2026 Friday — 20 business days before Sunday, November 1, 2026","show_method":false}
