How to find the date 12 weeks from today

  1. 1

    The date 12 weeks from today shows at the top, on the same weekday as today.

  2. 2

    For leave or a program, set the start date to its first day.

  3. 3

    Leave business days off for continuous FMLA leave: it is counted in whole weeks, holidays included.

  4. 4

    Turn on Count business days only if you need 60 working days instead, then compare the two dates.

Twelve weeks is 84 days

Twelve weeks from today is 84 days away, on today's weekday. It's a little under three months (89 to 92 days) and one week short of a quarter, which is 13 weeks. So a 12-week program that starts at the beginning of a quarter finishes with a week to spare.

FMLA leave: 12 workweeks

The Family and Medical Leave Act gives eligible employees up to 12 workweeks of unpaid, job-protected leave in a 12-month period, according to the Department of Labor. For continuous leave, holidays don't stretch it: when a holiday falls in a week you're on leave for the whole week, the entire week counts as FMLA leave. So 12 weeks of leave starting Monday, October 4, 2027 runs through Sunday, December 26, and you'd be due back on Monday, December 27, 2027, even though Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and the observed Christmas Day fall in between.

Counting 60 business days instead would push the return to Monday, January 3, 2028, a week later, which is why the business-day setting isn't right for continuous FMLA leave. Intermittent and reduced-schedule leave is counted in hours or days instead; your HR team or the DOL's FMLA pages can confirm your dates.

12 weeks of pregnancy

Pregnancy is usually counted in weeks from the first day of the last menstrual period, not from conception, so "12 weeks pregnant" is about 10 weeks after conception. This page can add weeks for you: if you're 8 weeks along today, you'll be 20 weeks in 12 weeks' time. Your doctor or midwife will give you your actual dates, and a due date is an estimate.

Programs and probation

Training plans, courses and "12-week year" planning use this block, and so do some probationary periods. A 12-week probation ends sooner than a 90-day one: 84 days against 90.

Frequently asked questions

How many days is 12 weeks?

84 days.

Is 12 weeks three months?

A little short of it. Three calendar months are 89 to 92 days, so 12 weeks ends five to eight days earlier. It is also one week short of a quarter, which is 13 weeks.

How is 12 weeks of FMLA leave counted?

The FMLA gives eligible employees up to 12 workweeks of leave in a 12-month period. When a holiday falls in a week you are on leave for the whole week, the Department of Labor counts the entire week as FMLA leave, so holidays do not extend continuous leave. Partial weeks and intermittent leave are counted differently.

How many business days are in 12 weeks?

60 weekdays, minus any public holidays.

Can I use this to work out pregnancy weeks?

It can add weeks to today: if you are 8 weeks along today, you will be 20 weeks in 12 weeks' time. Your doctor or midwife gives you your actual dates, and due dates are estimates.
