Date Calculator

Count days between two dates, or add and subtract days, weeks, months or years.

Days between two dates

Add or subtract

Date Calculator answers two common questions: how many days are there between two dates, and what date is it X days (or weeks, months or years) from a given date? It's useful for project deadlines, notice periods, visa stays, pregnancy and due-date planning, contract terms, countdowns and anniversaries.

The day count is shown as total days, as weeks plus days, as years, months and days, and as business days (Monday to Friday). Adding months handles different month lengths correctly. For example, 31 January plus one month gives the last day of February.

How to use the Date Calculator tool

  1. To count days, pick a start and end date, and tick 'Include end date' to count both ends.
  2. To add or subtract, pick a start date, choose Add or Subtract, then enter an amount and unit.
  3. Results update automatically.

Tips for best results

Use 'Include end date' when counting things like hotel nights versus days of an event: 1–3 March is 2 nights but 3 days inclusive. The business day count excludes weekends but not public holidays, so subtract those for your country. For your exact age, use the Age Calculator.

Counting days on a calendar by hand is easy to get wrong, especially across months of different lengths, leap years or year boundaries. This calculator uses exact calendar arithmetic in UTC, so the results aren't affected by daylight saving time changes in your time zone.

Compatibility and limits

The Date Calculator gives results instantly as you type and works on phones, tablets and computers. Results are rounded for display but calculated at full precision. The numbers you enter are not saved, so refreshing the page starts a new calculation. Results are estimates for general information, so for important medical, legal or financial decisions, please check with a qualified professional.
