The first 6 weeks of Statutory Maternity Pay
According to GOV.UK, Statutory Maternity Pay is paid for up to 39 weeks, at 90% of your average weekly earnings before tax for the first 6 weeks and at a lower flat rate after that. If your pay started today, the 90% weeks run to Sunday 8 November 2026 and the lower rate starts on Monday 9 November 2026.
If you meant 42 working days
42 working days from today is Wednesday 25 November 2026 in England and Wales and Monday 30 November 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.
6 weeks before today
6 weeks before today was Monday 17 August 2026. Count back this way to check when a 6-week period that ends today began.
How the count works
The date is today plus 42 calendar days (6 × 7), so it falls on the same weekday as today, a Monday. Working days run from today to the day before 9 Nov 2026, Monday to Friday, less bank or federal holidays.
6 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 6 weeks from today?
6 weeks from today, Monday 28 September 2026, is Monday 9 November 2026. That is 42 calendar days, or 6 weeks, counting tomorrow as day 1 and the date itself as day 42.
How many working days are there in the next 6 weeks?
From today up to Monday 9 November 2026 there are 30 working days in England and Wales and 29 US federal working days, counting today but not the end date. That is 42 days less 12 weekend days, less the public holidays that fall on weekdays.
What day of the week will it be in 6 weeks?
It will be a Monday. Today is a Monday and 42 days is 6 weeks, so the weekday does not change.
Are there any bank holidays in the next 6 weeks?
No England and Wales bank holiday falls between today and Monday 9 November 2026. The next one is Christmas Day on Friday 25 December 2026. In the US, Columbus Day falls in the same period.
What date was 6 weeks ago?
6 weeks ago was Monday 17 August 2026. Counting back uses the same rule as counting forward: each calendar day counts, including weekends and bank holidays, unless a rule says working days.
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
- GOV.UK: Maternity pay and leave, pay
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.
