5 days is 5 days.

That's 120 hours, or 7,200 minutes.

Counting 5 calendar days includes weekends. For a deadline in working days, use the business-day date above, which skips Saturdays and Sundays but not public holidays.

Put your finger on today and count 5 squares to the right, wrapping to the next row at the end of the week. Don't count today itself.

A quick check: 5 days from today always falls 5 weekdays after today's. The full weeks cancel out, so only the leftover 5 days move the weekday.
