Date math uses calendar days. The between-date result excludes the start date unless you use the inclusive count.

How it works

How the Date Calculator works

Quick answer: The number of days between two dates is the end date minus the start date. From October 20, 2026 to November 19, 2026 is 30 days (4 weeks, 2 days), or 31 days if you count both days.

Formula

Days between = end date − start date
Inclusive count = days between + 1

Add or subtract mode moves a date forward or back by a number of calendar days.

Worked example

Start October 20, 2026, end November 19, 2026: 30 days, which is 4 weeks, 2 days. Counting both the start and end day: 31 days.

Assumptions and limits

  • Counts calendar days, not business days. Weekends and holidays are included.

Frequently asked questions

Is the end date counted?

The result is the days between the two dates without double-counting the start date.

Are leap years handled?

Yes, the calendar math accounts for leap years.

Should I count the start date?

For durations such as "days until", no. For counts such as "days of travel" where both days matter, use the inclusive count.
