Ontario offer deadline calculator

Condition periods and irrevocable dates, counted every way practice counts them, with Ontario statutory holidays built in. It will not tell you your deadline. It will show you the arithmetic and flag the days where two reasonable people would land on different answers.

Count it

Enter the acceptance, get every reading

Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere, which matters because these are live deal dates.

The agreement

Use the date the last party signed back, not the date the offer was drafted. That is the acceptance date the count runs from.

Ontario statutory holidays for 2026 to 2028 are built in.
Whatever number your clause says: 5 for a typical financing condition, 3 for a fast one, 60 for sale of an existing home.
Does the day of acceptance count?
Excluding the day of acceptance is the more common reading, but it is a reading. If the deal is tight, this is one to confirm rather than assume.

Every way of counting

Calendar days -
Business days, weekends only -
Business days, plus statutory holidays -
Business days, plus Civic Holiday too -
Why four answers

Because Ontario does not have one

The counting rule is not a fact you can look up. It is whatever your clause says, read against a convention that is not written down anywhere binding.

Day zero

If a deal is accepted Thursday and the condition runs five days, is Friday day one or is Thursday? Excluding the acceptance day is the more common reading, and it is still a reading. Two agents on the same deal can count to different Tuesdays.

Business days

A clause that says "business days" without defining them leaves open whether that means weekdays, or weekdays minus statutory holidays, or minus bank closures. The safest clause names the actual date and skips the argument entirely.

The August problem

The Civic Holiday on the first Monday of August is not a public holiday under the Employment Standards Act. Most offices close; the law does not require it. So it is shown separately here rather than folded in.

Ontario statutory holidays used by this tool:

Dashed outline marks the Civic Holiday, which is observed but not a statutory public holiday.

The honest version

What this tool will not do

It will not tell you your deadline, because your clause does that and we have not read it. It does the arithmetic, which is the part that is genuinely annoying, and it shows you where the conventions disagree, which is the part worth knowing before you rely on a date.

If all four readings land on the same day, you can stop thinking about it. If they do not, that gap is your risk, and the fix is not a better calculator - it is writing the actual calendar date into the clause so nobody has to count at all. Where money or a firm deal turns on it, that is a question for the lawyer on the file, not for a web page.

Once the clock is running

Counting the date is the easy half. Remembering it three weeks later, across nine live deals, is the half that loses deposits.

AgentMind tracks the deadline after you have counted it. Every condition on every deal, with a reminder before it lapses rather than after. Client data stays in Canada.
