Closing Deadline Calculator
Enter your contract's acceptance date and the day counts from your purchase contract — this tool maps each deadline to a calendar date and flags dates that land on a weekend or federal holiday.
Educational tool only — not legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. Day-counting conventions vary by contract — verify every date against your signed agreement.
Map Your Contract Deadlines
This calculator embeds no legal deadlines of its own — every date below is computed entirely from what you type in, using simple calendar math from your acceptance date.
Your deadline dates appear here once you enter your contract details.

How the Typical REPC Deadline Structure Works
In Utah residential transactions, the standard Real Estate Purchase Contract (REPC) generally sets out three key deadlines, each written into the contract as a specific calendar date.
1
Due Diligence Deadline
Generally the buyer's window to inspect the property, review title, HOA, and seller disclosures, and investigate anything else that matters. Under the standard REPC, a buyer who cancels on or before this deadline may generally be entitled to the return of the earnest money — but your contract's exact language controls.
2
Financing & Appraisal Deadline
Generally tied to the buyer's loan and the appraisal of the property. If financing or the appraisal falls through, the contract typically spells out what notice must be given by this deadline and what generally happens to the earnest money afterward.
3
Settlement Deadline
Generally the date by which the parties sign closing documents, deliver funds, and satisfy any remaining conditions. Possession, recording, and prorations are often addressed separately in the contract, so read those provisions together.
The REPC form generally leaves each of these deadlines as a blank the parties negotiate — there is no single "default" number of days, which is why this calculator asks for the day counts from your contract instead of assuming them. Deadlines that land on weekends or holidays can behave differently depending on how your contract counts days.

Have an Attorney Review Your Contract Before Deadlines Bite
A missed deadline can put earnest money — or the whole deal — at risk. In one sitting, a Utah real estate attorney can walk through your REPC's deadlines, contingencies, and day-counting language with you.
