Three dates, counted out in full
The answer at the top of the page comes from your own clock, so it is not written into the page. These three are, because each one says what it counted from: they read the same on any day you open them. Saturdays and Sundays are skipped, so every row lands on a weekday.

Three working weeks
Fifteen business days is three full working weeks and twenty-one calendar days from a weekday start — a whole number of weeks again, so the weekday is unchanged. That extra week over the usual ten is what separates a routine request from one that needs a decision from somebody who is not in the room.
Escalation and appeal windows
Fifteen working days is a common statutory or policy deadline for a substantive response: internal complaint and grievance procedures, appeal acknowledgements, insurer decisions on a submitted claim, and second-stage information requests. Because the count excludes weekends, a fifteen-working-day deadline announced before a holiday period is materially later than the calendar suggests — worth checking before you assume a deadline has been missed.
Reading a business-day deadline correctly
A deadline written in business days always falls later on the calendar than the same number of plain days, and the gap widens by two days for every weekend crossed. Before assuming a deadline has passed, check which wording the document actually used. If it says plain days, 15 days from today answers that version instead.
To count the working days between two dates you already have, days between dates gives the weekday total alongside the calendar total.
How the working days are counted
The count starts from today and steps forward one day at a time, skipping every Saturday and Sunday. A step onto a weekend does not count, so all 15 of the days are Mondays to Fridays and the answer can never itself land on a weekend. If today is a weekend day, the first working day counted is the following Monday.
Public holidays are not removed. They differ by country, by state or region and by employer, so a page that guessed at them would be confidently wrong for most readers. Deduct one working day for each holiday your own calendar observes inside the span, and the true date moves that many days later.
All of this runs in your browser, on your device’s date and time zone. Open the page tomorrow and the answer has moved with the calendar.
