Calculate your deadlines
Enter the trigger date (a filing date, a service date, an order date), pick a deadline set, and get every downstream deadline with weekends and US federal holidays skipped. Nothing is uploaded; the math runs in your browser.
Rule applied: add the calendar days shown, and if the result lands on a weekend or federal holiday, the deadline rolls forward to the next business day. Holidays falling on a Saturday are observed the Friday before; Sunday holidays are observed the Monday after. Always confirm against the rules of your specific court.

The deadline sets
Standard set — the general chart: 21-day response, 28-day reply, then 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180, and 365-day milestones. A useful default when you want the full landscape from one trigger date.
Federal (FRCP-style) — the short intervals that come up constantly in federal practice: 7, 14, 21, 28, and 30 days.
Discovery response set — the 30-day response baseline, the 33-day mark when service was by mail (+3 days), and a 37-day meet-and-confer target.
Appeal / post-judgment set — 14 and 28-day post-judgment windows, the 30-day notice of appeal in federal civil cases, and the 60-day version when the United States is a party.
Custom — any interval with your own label, for the one-off deadline in a scheduling order.
How the math works
-
Add calendar days
Each deadline adds its full calendar-day count to your trigger date — weekends and holidays are counted along the way, exactly as most "days" rules require.
-
Check the landing day
If the resulting date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a US federal holiday, the deadline can't be due that day.
-
Roll forward to the next business day
The calculator pushes the due date forward, one day at a time, until it lands on a working day. Adjusted dates are shown in sage green with a note explaining the original landing day.
Holidays this calculator skips
All eleven US federal holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day (3rd Monday of January), Presidents Day (3rd Monday of February), Memorial Day (last Monday of May), Juneteenth (June 19), Independence Day (July 4), Labor Day (1st Monday of September), Columbus Day (2nd Monday of October), Veterans Day (November 11), Thanksgiving (4th Thursday of November), and Christmas (December 25).
