JudgeCalc review
A focused web calculator for forward, backward, court-day, and calendar-day deadlines.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
JudgeCalc is a browser-based legal deadline calculator for lawyers and legal professionals who need to calculate dates without signing up or logging in. The Free Calculator supports forward and backward calculations using calendar days or court days, with weekends and U.S. federal holidays excluded, including the observed weekday when a holiday falls on a weekend: two days from Wednesday, July 1, 2026 lands on Monday, July 6, because Friday, July 3 is the observed Independence Day. When a result lands on an excluded day, a dialog lets the user go back, keep the original date or go forward. It also shows 60 preset dates in tables of days, weeks, months, and years, recalculated whenever the start date changes, making it suited to straightforward deadline work and quick date checks.
Its strongest feature is the range of calculation controls in a focused interface. Users can enter custom offsets in days, weeks, months, or years, then set a result as the starting point for a new calculation. That date chaining can help with sequences of deadlines, while copyable long and short date formats make results easier to place in documents or emails. The product is available on the web, so its fit is clearest for users who want a browser-based calculator rather than a broader calendaring environment.
The free tier covers core calculations at no cost. The calculator is free with no time limit. A paid full version for law firms, with matter and client tracking, custom dates and state holidays, multi-court jurisdictions and role-based access, is in final testing. JudgeCalc is a sensible choice for individuals who mainly need deadline arithmetic and holiday exclusion. It is best compared with other standalone deadline calculators rather than with full practice-management suites.
