How to use the Days Between Dates
- Choose a start and end date (order does not matter).
- Decide whether the end date itself should be counted.
- Optionally add or subtract days to find a future or past date.
How it works
The difference is measured in calendar days at midnight to avoid daylight-saving errors. Business days count Monday to Friday and do not exclude public holidays.
Frequently asked questions
Does it skip holidays?
Business days exclude weekends only. Subtract any public holidays that apply to you.
How many days until Christmas?
The end date defaults to the next December 25, so the result shows the countdown straight away.
