What Is Recurring Date Calculator?

The Recurring Date Calculator generates a list of dates for events that repeat at regular intervals. Set a start date, choose a frequency (daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly), and specify the recurrence interval (every N occurrences). Choose to end after a specific number of occurrences or on a specific date. The tool produces a chronological list of all occurrence dates with their day of the week, which can be copied in bulk. This is perfect for planning rent payments, medication schedules, subscription renewals, recurring meetings, birthday reminders, or any regularly scheduled event.

  • Configurable interval (every 1, 2, 3... occurrences)
  • End by count or by date
  • Shows day of week for each occurrence
  • One-click copy of all dates

Technical Guide

The generator starts from the first date and adds the specified interval in the chosen unit for each subsequent occurrence. Daily and weekly use setDate(getDate() + days), biweekly uses setDate(getDate() + 14 * interval), monthly uses setMonth(getMonth() + interval), quarterly uses setMonth(getMonth() + 3 * interval), and yearly uses setFullYear(getFullYear() + interval). When ending by count, iteration stops after generating the specified number of dates. When ending by date, each generated date is checked against the end date. The date list is displayed with full long-format dates including the day of week, and the copy function joins all dates with newlines for spreadsheet compatibility.

Tips & Best Practices

  • 1
    Use biweekly frequency for pay period calculations
  • 2
    Monthly recurrence handles end-of-month edge cases (31st → end of shorter months)
  • 3
    Set a generous end date to see all occurrences, then adjust if needed
  • 4
    Copy the list and paste into a calendar app for bulk event creation
  • 5
    The interval multiplier lets you create every-other-month or every-3-week patterns

Frequently Asked Questions

Q What happens with monthly recurrence on the 31st?
If a month doesn't have 31 days, JavaScript rolls forward to the next month. For example, January 31 + 1 month = March 3 (or Feb 28/29 overflow). Plan accordingly.
Q Can I create every-other-week recurrence?
Yes, use the "Weekly" frequency with an interval of 2, or use the "Biweekly" frequency directly.
Q What is the maximum number of occurrences?
Up to 365 occurrences when using count mode, which covers daily events for a full year.
Q Can I skip holidays or weekends?
Currently the tool generates dates strictly based on the recurrence pattern. Use the Date Range Generator with weekend exclusion for weekday-only lists.
Q How does the quarterly frequency work?
Quarterly recurrence adds 3 months per interval. Every quarter from January 15 gives April 15, July 15, October 15, January 15, etc.
