1. What Is This Calculator?

This calculator helps you determine a future date by adding a specified number of weeks to today's date or any other starting date you choose.

2. How Does It Work?

The calculator uses the following simple formula:

Where:

• \( CurrentDate \) — The starting date (defaults to today)
• \( Weeks \) — Number of weeks to add
• \( 7 \) — Days per week

Explanation: The calculator converts weeks to days (by multiplying by 7) and adds them to the current date to determine the future date.

3. Practical Applications
