Why 40 weeks is the pregnancy due date
According to ACOG, the estimated due date is by convention 280 days, or 40 weeks, after the first day of the last menstrual period, assuming a 28-day cycle. If your last period started today, the estimated due date is Monday 5 July 2027. The NHS says pregnancy normally lasts from 37 to 42 weeks from the first day of the last period.
If you meant 280 working days
280 working days from today is Thursday 4 November 2027 in England and Wales and Wednesday 10 November 2027 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.
40 weeks before today
40 weeks before today was Monday 22 December 2025. Count back this way to check when a 40-week period that ends today began.
How the count works
The date is today plus 280 calendar days (40 × 7), so it falls on the same weekday as today, a Monday. Working days run from today to the day before 5 Jul 2027, Monday to Friday, less bank or federal holidays.
40 weeks 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.

Common questions
What date is 40 weeks from today?
40 weeks from today, Monday 28 September 2026, is Monday 5 July 2027. That is 280 calendar days, or 40 weeks, counting tomorrow as day 1 and the date itself as day 280.
How many working days are there in the next 40 weeks?
From today up to Monday 5 July 2027 there are 193 working days in England and Wales and 191 US federal working days, counting today but not the end date. That is 280 days less 80 weekend days, less the public holidays that fall on weekdays.
What day of the week will it be in 40 weeks?
It will be a Monday. Today is a Monday and 280 days is 40 weeks, so the weekday does not change.
Are there any bank holidays in the next 40 weeks?
Yes. Christmas Day on Friday 25 December 2026, Boxing Day on Monday 28 December 2026, New Year’s Day on Friday 1 January 2027, Good Friday on Friday 26 March 2027, Easter Monday on Monday 29 March 2027, Early May bank holiday on Monday 3 May 2027 and Spring bank holiday on Monday 31 May 2027 fall between today and Monday 5 July 2027 in England and Wales. In the US, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day and Juneteenth National Independence Day fall in the same period.
What date was 40 weeks ago?
40 weeks ago was Monday 22 December 2025. Counting back uses the same rule as counting forward: each calendar day counts, including weekends and bank holidays, unless a rule says working days.
If my last period started today, when is my due date?
Your estimated due date would be Monday 5 July 2027, 280 days or 40 weeks later, which assumes a 28-day cycle. A longer or shorter cycle moves it by the same number of days, and a dating scan can change it. The due date calculator adjusts for your cycle length.
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

Dates are worked out for the UK time zone and refreshed in your browser for your own date. Your employer, court or contract may count days differently, so check the exact rule that applies to you.
