The US 3-day cooling-off rule
According to the FTC, its Cooling-Off Rule lets you cancel a sale of $25 or more made at your home, or $130 or more at a temporary location such as a hotel, until midnight of the third business day after the sale. Saturdays count as business days but Sundays and federal holidays do not, so for a sale made today the deadline is midnight at the end of Thursday 1 October 2026.
If you meant 3 working days
3 working days from today is Thursday 1 October 2026 in England and Wales and Thursday 1 October 2026 in the US, counting from tomorrow and skipping weekends and public holidays. Use this when a notice period or a delivery promise is given in working days.
3 days before today
3 days before today was Friday 25 September 2026. Count back this way to check when a 3-day period that ends today began.
How the count works
The date is today plus 3 calendar days, so it falls 3 weekdays later than today's Monday. Working days run from today to the day before 1 Oct 2026, Monday to Friday, less bank or federal holidays.
3 days from other start dates
Starting on a different day changes the end date and the working days, because weekends and holidays fall differently. Working days count the start date but not the end date.

Sources and assumptions
- Calendar days: the target date minus today. Working days: Monday to Friday from today up to the day before the target date, the way the Days Between Dates calculator counts them.
- UK working days take off England and Wales bank holidays from the GOV.UK feed, including substitute days. Scotland and Northern Ireland have different bank holidays.
- US working days take off federal holidays on the day they are observed under 5 U.S.C. 6103. States and employers can add their own holidays.
- GOV.UK: UK bank holidays (England and Wales)
- 5 U.S.C. 6103: US federal legal public holidays
- FTC: the Cooling-Off Rule
