How this is calculated

Today counts as day 0, so 1 day ago is the date you reach after 1 full day back. That is how deadlines like “within 1 day” are usually read: the period ends on that date.

Business days are Monday to Friday without the 11 federal holidays (5 U.S.C. 6103). When a holiday falls on a Saturday it is observed the Friday before, on a Sunday the Monday after. Banks, courts and employers can have their own calendars.
