Why Manual Date Calculation is Risky

Variable Month Lengths

Months have 28, 29, 30, or 31 days. Counting manually often leads to incorrect results when crossing month boundaries.

Leap Year Complexity

Years divisible by 100 are not leap years unless divisible by 400. Missing this rule can throw off calculations by days.

Frequently Asked Questions

To calculate the days between two dates, subtract the timestamp of the start date from the end date. Our calculator handles this automatically, taking into account leap years and month lengths (28/30/31 days). Simply enter your dates and click "Calculate Duration" for instant results.

Check the "Exclude Weekends" box in the calculator. This will show you only Monday through Friday days between your dates. Perfect for calculating business days, project timelines, or work schedules.

Use the formula =DATEDIF(A1, B1, "d") where A1 is your start date and B1 is your end date. For business days, use =NETWORKDAYS(A1, B1). Our calculator is faster and requires no formulas.

When you check "Include End Date," the calculator adds one day to the total. This is useful when you want to count both the start and end dates inclusively (e.g., for hotel bookings where you pay for both arrival and departure days).
