How many days are between Easter and Mother's Day?

Q: How many days are between Easter and Mother's Day?

42 days. Easter falls on Sunday, March 28, 2027 and Mother's Day on Sunday, May 9, 2027, which is 42 days later — 6 weeks, or 30 business days counting Monday to Friday only. The first day is not counted and the last one is, the same way a calendar counts a stay. One of these two moves around the calendar, so the gap is not the same every year — the table below gives the next five.

Assumptions

Dates are local calendar dates; times and time zones are ignored.
Business days are Monday–Friday with no holiday exclusions.
Adding months keeps the day of month, clamped to the target month's length.
