# FederalCourtDeadlines.com > FederalCourtDeadlines.com publishes free federal civil deadline calculators for the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4, and removal and remand under 28 U.S.C. 1446 and 1447. Enter the date of the triggering event and each calculator returns the deadline with the rule and subdivision it rests on, the rule text quoted from the official source, the weekend and legal holiday roll under FRCP 6(a) or FRAP 26(a), and the 3 days under FRCP 6(d) or FRAP 26(c) only where they apply. Where a question is not settled, the result shows the due date under the prevailing reading together with the earliest date (safe for a party computing its own deadline) and the latest date (the floor for arguing that someone else filed late). 70 rule rows transcribed from the official text, the latest on October 5, 2026. None has been countersigned yet. The calculators are free, need no account, and run in the browser. District local rules are applied only for the districts listed under Local rules; for any other district the dates follow the FRCP only. A judge's standing orders and the orders in a case may change these dates. Nothing here is legal advice. ## Connect this to an assistant This site runs a Model Context Protocol server. Its tools compute federal deadlines with the rules engine behind these calculators, quoting the rule where a rule row applies, with the open questions attached, and list each year's legal holidays. - Endpoint: https://federalcourtdeadlines.com/api/mcp - Free, no account, no API key, nothing to sign up for. - Setup for Claude, ChatGPT and other clients: https://federalcourtdeadlines.com/mcp - 4 tools: federal_deadline, federal_legal_holidays, federal_count_days, federal_local_deadline. - Status: not yet countersigned. Every answer says so until an attorney countersigns the rule rows it used. Each answer counts the way the calculators do: Rule 6(d)'s 3 days are added only after the weekend and holiday roll and only for some methods of service, observed holidays and presidential closure days are reported with the date under each reading because they are not settled, and a removal period runs from receipt by the defendant, through service or otherwise, not from a mailing. ## Calculators - [Answer and pleading deadlines](https://federalcourtdeadlines.com/federal-answer-deadline-calculator): Time to answer or move under Rule 12, waiver of service, amending once as a matter of course, and a jury demand, under FRCP 4, 12, 15 and 38.

Status: not yet countersigned. - Federal legal holiday calendar feed (iCalendar, 2024 through 2030, subscribe once): https://federalcourtdeadlines.com/federal-legal-holidays.ics ## State holidays This calculator does not yet apply state holidays. Rule 6(a)(6)(C) also treats as a legal holiday, for periods that are measured after an event, "any other day declared a holiday by the state where the district court is located" (for an appeal, FRAP 26(a)(6)(C) adds the state of the circuit clerk's principal office). Leaving a state holiday out can only move a forward deadline earlier, never later. That is the safe error if you are computing your own deadline. It is the wrong tool for arguing that the other side filed late: check that state's holidays first. ## Keep a case's dates - [Case organizer](https://federalcourtdeadlines.com/case-organizer): Keep a case's federal deadlines in one place: save a result in this browser, see every saved date on a month calendar, and download them to a calendar, a spreadsheet or an AI assistant. A matter a reader saves stays in that reader's browser. Nothing is sent to this site to save it, and no tool or assistant can read it unless the reader downloads it; the JSON download is written for an assistant to read. ## About the site and how the rules are recorded - [About](https://federalcourtdeadlines.com/about): Who maintains this site, how each rule row is transcribed from the official text and countersigned, and how to report an error. - [How the deadlines are computed](https://federalcourtdeadlines.com/methodology): The counting method under FRCP 6 and FRAP 26, how unsettled questions show as earliest and latest dates, the sources and editions, and what is not covered. - [Rule verification record](https://federalcourtdeadlines.com/rule-verification): Every rule row and authority row the calculators use, with its verbatim text, source, edition, page and countersign status.
