The same entered working calendar is used for dispatch and transit. At or after the cutoff, an otherwise working order date rolls to the next working date; closed order dates roll once. Holidays are entered manually, not fetched or inferred. All times use the origin-local clock with no time-zone conversion, and arrival is a date only. Zero transit days returns the effective dispatch date. Complete date trace is included in CSV; the on-screen table shows at most 120 dates.

BEHIND THE NUMBER
How the calculation works
The same working-week and holiday calendar controls dispatch and transit. An order on a closed date rolls to the next working date. On an open date, an order at or after cutoff rolls to the next working date; before cutoff, dispatch stays on that date. By default dispatch is day zero. With day one selected, dispatch counts as the first transit day. Zero transit days always returns effective dispatch. Dates use UTC-backed, date-only calendar arithmetic, independent of browser time zone or daylight-saving shifts. The example holiday is a manually entered closure, not a national holiday assertion.
Effective dispatch = first eligible working date after the order date/time cutoff rule. Arrival = dispatch plus entered working days under the selected day-zero/day-one convention.
When this calculation helps
Establish effective dispatch before counting transit working days. A missed cutoff, weekend, or entered closure can shift the starting date even when the transit duration itself stays unchanged.
Check the interpretation
Day-zero and day-one conventions produce different dates. Confirm the actual service rule and enter the relevant closures; no national holidays are inferred. The result uses one origin-local calendar and is a planning date, not a live carrier ETA or appointment guarantee.
A planning date, not a live carrier ETA or guarantee. All entered times share the origin-local clock; no origin/destination time-zone conversion is applied. Holidays and service weekdays are manual assumptions. Confirm actual carrier acceptance, collection cutoffs, service availability, holiday observance, and delivery appointments. Up to 366 transit working days and 500 entered closures; CSV includes the full calculation calendar.

Good to know
Does the cutoff itself count as before cutoff?
No. At the exact cutoff or later, a working order date rolls to the next eligible dispatch date. Confirm the convention in your actual service agreement.
Are national holidays added automatically?
No. Enter the closures that apply to the service. The same entered calendar is used throughout; this does not model different origin and destination calendars or customs delays.
