Count days between dates

live result

This uses an exclusive day difference: the start date itself is not counted.

Useful context

How it works

Use the calculator first, then scan the details below when you want more context about the inputs, result, or assumptions.

Method

The calculator finds the absolute calendar-day difference between the two dates, then breaks it into weeks and days.

How to use it

Enter both dates and compare the exclusive difference, direction, weeks, days, and approximate hours.

Understand the result

The start date is not counted. Reversed dates remain valid and are identified as an absolute difference.

Example

January 1 to January 10 is 9 exclusive days, which is 1 week and 2 days.

Notes

The start date is not counted. Reversed dates remain valid and are shown as an absolute difference with the direction made explicit.
