How do I count the days between two dates?
Subtract the start date from the end date. If you also want to count the start day, add 1. From 1 January to 31 January is 30 days, or 31 days if both days are counted.
How do I count working days?
Count every day in the range and leave out your weekend days. Choose the weekend that applies to you, because it is not the same for every employer.
Questions people ask
Is what I type stored or sent anywhere?
No. The sum runs in your browser and nothing is sent to us.
How are months counted when the start is the 31st?
Whole months are counted from the start date. If the month is shorter, the date moves back to its last day. From 31 January to 1 March is 1 month and 1 day.
Can I count back from a date?
Put the earlier date in the start box and the later date in the end box. The tool does not count backwards on its own.
