December 30, 2016 is a Friday. It is the 365th day of the year, and in the 52nd week of the year (assuming each week starts on a Sunday), or the 4th quarter of the year. There are 31 days in this month. 2016 is a leap year, so there are 366 days in this year. The short form for this date used in the United States is 12/30/2016, and almost everywhere else in the world it's 30/12/2016.

What if you only counted weekdays?

In some cases, you might want to skip weekends and count only the weekdays. This could be useful if you know you have a deadline based on a certain number of business days. If you are trying to see what day falls on the exact date difference of 3 weekdays before Jan 2, 2017, you can count up each day skipping Saturdays and Sundays.

Start your calculation with Jan 2, 2017, which falls on a Monday. Counting forward, the next day would be a Tuesday.

To get exactly three weekdays before Jan 2, 2017, you actually need to count 5 total days (including weekend days). That means that 3 weekdays before Jan 2, 2017 would be December 28, 2016.

If you're counting business days, don't forget to adjust this date for any holidays.
