60 days from today

The date and what lies in between

“Today” is your device’s date, so the answer is right in your time zone. The page itself was generated on the date in the caption; your browser recounts the table when it opens.

How 60 days are counted

Day 1 is tomorrow; day 60 is the answer. Sixty days are 8 full weeks plus 4 days, so the answer always falls 3 days earlier in the week than today (from a Wednesday, a Sunday). Weekends and holidays count as ordinary days. If the wording is “60 business days” or “60 working days”, the deadline is about three months away instead; switch the calculator to Business days to count those.

60 days, 2 months or 60 business days?

Three ways of writing a similar period land on three different dates:

Notice and grace periods are usually written in days; leases, subscriptions and billing cycles in months.

Common 60-day deadlines

• Notices and grace periods: many notices give 60 days from the date of the letter, not from the day you read it. Put the letter’s date in the start field of the date calculator.
• Returns and price protection: a “60-day” window counts from purchase or delivery, so check which date the store uses.
• Planning: 60 days is a little over 8 weeks — a typical length for a training block or a short project.

Checking the date by hand

Count whole weeks first, then the days left over: 60 days are 8 weeks and 4 days. On a wall calendar, move 8 rows down from today, then 4 days to the right, wrapping to the next row past the edge. That is quicker and less error-prone than counting single days. The table above also lists the weekdays and the federal holidays you pass, which matters when a deadline has to fall on a business day or an office is closed.

To count the days left until a deadline you already know, use days between dates. For a longer span, see 90 days from today; to turn weeks into years for longer plans, weeks to years.
