How to use
- Days between: pick a start date and an end date. You get the number of days between them, the same span in years, months and days, in weeks and days, and the number of business days (Monday to Friday).
- Add or subtract: pick a start date, enter a number, choose the unit (days, business days, months or years) and whether to add or subtract. You get the resulting date and the day of the week. The quick picks fill in common amounts, such as 30 days or 10 business days.
How it is calculated
Days between = end date − start date. For example, January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026 is 364 days, or 365 days when both the start and end date are included.
Leap years are handled automatically, because the calculation uses real calendar dates, including February 29.
Common uses
- Countdowns: days until an exam, a trip, a wedding or a deadline.
- Anniversaries: how many days you have been together, or a baby’s 100th day.
- Work and contracts: probation periods, notice periods, payment terms and leave.
