Business Days From Today

People commonly need to know dates that are a specific number of business days from today. Here are the most searched timeframes:

• 5 business days — Standard shipping, simple approvals, short deadlines
• 10 business days — Two work weeks, common for refund processing and document review
• 15 business days — Three work weeks, often used for government processing
• 30 business days — Six work weeks, common for insurance claims and loan processing
• 45 business days — Often used for mortgage processing and complex applications
• 60 business days — SEC filing deadlines, employee review periods
• 90 business days — Probation periods, long-term project milestones
• 120 business days — Visa processing and major permit reviews
• 180 business days — Statutory deadlines and long government programs

Many legal, financial, and business deadlines are measured in business days rather than calendar days. The difference is significant:

• 10 business days = 14 calendar days (without holidays)
• 30 business days = 42 calendar days (6 weeks)
• 90 business days = 126 calendar days (18 weeks / ~4.5 months)

Holidays can add even more calendar days. A deadline of "30 business days" set in late November (with Thanksgiving and Christmas) can stretch to nearly 7 calendar weeks.
