Add 120 business days (Monday to Friday, skipping weekends and US federal holidays) to today and you get the result above. The date above is counted from October 14, 2026, when the site was last updated, and the result card recounts it from your local today once the page loads. Use the interactive calculator below to adjust the start date, change the number of days, or switch to a different country’s holiday calendar.
120 business days is twenty-four work weeks, close to half a working year. The best-known federal 120-day period, the exclusive window in which only a Chapter 11 debtor may file a plan, is counted in calendar days.
The federal 120 that matters
Under 11 U.S.C. 1121(b), "only the debtor may file a plan until after 120 days after the date of the order for relief". That exclusivity period can be extended, but not without limit: under 1121(d)(2)(A) it "may not be extended beyond a date that is 18 months after the date of the order for relief". Every creditor watching a reorganisation is counting those 120 days on the calendar, weekends included.
Read next to the count above, the two are far apart. One hundred and twenty calendar days is four months. One hundred and twenty business days is around six. In a restructuring timetable that difference is the whole negotiation.

Twenty-four work weeks, worked out
A full working year holds roughly 250 business days, so 120 is a shade under half of one.

At this length, the start date matters more than you expect
A 120-business-day window is long enough to swallow an entire holiday season, and where it starts decides how many holidays that is. A window opening in late summer runs through Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Presidents' Day. One opening in March may cross only three or four. That is a difference of four or five calendar days in the answer, from the same count.
It is also long enough that a leap day can fall inside it. The calculator handles that; a spreadsheet that adds a fixed number of days does not always.
Half a working year, by country
Half a working year is the longest count this site publishes, so it gives every national calendar the most room to pull its row away from the US date. The gap between the lightest and the densest calendar widens as the window grows, and where the window opens decides how much of each country's holiday season it swallows.
Using a 120-business-day window in a contract
- State the governing holiday calendar. Over this length an unstated calendar is worth more than a week of schedule.
- Decide how a country's newly declared national holiday affects the count. Long windows outlive holiday calendars.
- If the period tracks a fiscal half-year rather than a working half-year, say so, because they are not the same thing.
- For a period anchored to a month rather than to a count, our business days by month pages give the per-month totals.
