FAQs
- How do I calculate the days between two dates? Subtract the start date from the end date. The calculator does this for you and handles leap years automatically.
- Should I include the end date? By default the end date is not counted. Tick the box to include it, which adds one day. This is common for hotel stays, leave and contracts.
- Does it count business days? Yes. It counts Monday to Friday and shows weekend days separately. Public holidays are not excluded.
- What if my end date is before my start date? The calculator compares the dates in reverse order and tells you it did so.
