How days between dates are counted

The calculator counts the midnights between your two dates — the standard difference, so January 1 to January 2 is 1 day. The weekday count uses the same convention, counting only Mondays through Fridays in that span. The table then re-expresses the exact same gap as weeks + days, whole calendar months, and calendar-accurate years, months and days.

Worked example: Monday, March 2 to Monday, March 16, 2026

Both dates are Mondays two weeks apart. Counting midnight-to-midnight gives 14 days (start excluded, end included). Because the span covers two full working weeks, that is 10 weekdays (business days), which the calculator also equals 2 weeks, 0 days. If you instead needed both endpoints counted — inclusive counting, e.g. "how many days am I on holiday from the 2nd through the 16th" — you would add 1, giving 15 days.

Business-days figures count Monday–Friday only and do not remove public holidays, which vary by country. Calendar days include weekends. February spans 28 days in 2026 and 29 in a leap year such as 2024, so a Feb-to-Feb gap shifts by one day across a leap year.
