1. What is Date Addition by Weeks?

This calculator helps you determine a future or past date by adding or subtracting a specific number of weeks from a given start date. It's useful for project planning, scheduling, and date-based calculations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• Start Date — The initial date you want to add weeks to
• Number of Weeks — The quantity of weeks to add (can be zero or positive)
• New Date — The resulting date after adding the weeks

Explanation: Since one week equals 7 days, the calculator multiplies the number of weeks by 7 and adds that many days to the start date.

3. Practical Applications

Details: This calculation is commonly used in project management (for milestone planning), pregnancy dating (calculating due dates), medication schedules, and any scenario where you need to calculate a date a certain number of weeks in the future or past.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips:

• Enter the start date in YYYY-MM-DD format or use the date picker
• Enter the number of weeks to add (use negative numbers to subtract weeks)
• The calculator automatically accounts for varying month lengths and leap years
