Add 30 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.
30 business days is six work weeks. It is not Net 30. Net 30 and the federal Prompt Payment rule both run on calendar days, so if you are computing an invoice due date you probably want our Net 30 calculator instead.
Net 30 is thirty calendar days
The federal government pays on calendar days. Under 5 CFR 1315.4(g)(1)(iv), where a contract does not specify a date, payment is due "30 days after the start of the payment period", and the payment period starts on receipt of a proper invoice or acceptance of the goods, whichever is later. Nothing in that scheme excludes weekends. What it does instead is fix the edge case: under paragraph (h), "payments falling due on a weekend or federal holiday may be made on the following business day without incurring late payment interest penalties".
That is the standard shape of a commercial payment term. Count calendar days, then move the due date forward if it lands on a day the banks are shut. Reading Net 30 as thirty business days adds roughly two weeks to the due date and is one of the most expensive misreadings in accounts payable.
When thirty business days is the right count
Some contracts genuinely do measure in business days, usually where the obligation is work rather than money: a remediation window, a transition services period, a data migration commitment. In those the parties want a fixed number of working days regardless of where the holidays fall, and the answer above is the date.
The test is simple. If the clause is about paying, assume calendar days unless it says otherwise. If the clause is about doing, check, because business days is common.

Thirty business days across other calendars
Where a cross-border contract measures a working-day period, this is the size of the disagreement you are avoiding by naming the country whose calendar governs.

Drafting notes for a thirty-business-day clause
- Name the calendar. "Business day" without a jurisdiction is ambiguous the moment either party has an office abroad.
- Say whether the start date counts. Most business-day clauses exclude it, and this calculator excludes it.
- Decide what happens when the last day is a holiday in one country and not the other. A clause that is silent here produces two different due dates.
- If the period feeds a payment obligation downstream, compute both legs. Our invoice due date calculator handles common term types.
