How many days until a deadline, since an event, or between two dates on a contract? Get the answer in every useful unit at once.

How to use the Date Difference Calculator

  1. 1 Pick a start date and an end date (the order does not matter).
  2. 2 Tick "Include the end date" if both days should count.
  3. 3 Read the difference in years/months/days, total days, weeks and business days.

Formula

Days = end date − start date
Business days = weekdays (Mon–Fri) in the range
Include end date: add 1 day

Worked examples

Project length

Input: 1 March 2026 → 30 June 2026

Result: 121 days

86 business days

Inclusive count

Input: Same dates, end date included

Result: 122 days

Counts both first and last day

Should I include the end date?

By default the difference is "exclusive": from Monday to Tuesday is 1 day. If you are counting days of attendance, hotel nights versus days, or a leave period where both the first and last day count, tick include the end date.

Business days and holidays

Business days exclude Saturdays and Sundays. Public holidays differ by country and region and are not deducted — subtract them manually if needed.

Frequently asked questions

How many days are between two dates?

Enter both dates — the total days box shows the exact count, accounting for leap years.

Are weekends excluded?

Only in the business-days result; the total days figure counts every calendar day.

Does the order of the dates matter?

No. If the end date is earlier, the tool shows the absolute difference and tells you the dates are reversed.
