About this tool

This tool reports both a calendar-style difference and a fixed total-day count. It automatically treats the earlier date as the start date.

How to use it

  1. Select the first date.
  2. Select the second date.
  3. Select Calculate difference.

Calendar difference and elapsed days

Calendar years and months are counted first, followed by remaining days. Total days is calculated separately because months and years have different lengths.

Worked example

Example: January 1 to January 31 is 30 elapsed days. The start date is the beginning of the interval, not an extra completed day.

Good to know

Weekend days are counted as Saturdays and Sundays in the elapsed interval. Public holidays are not included.

Frequently asked questions

Can I enter the dates in reverse order?

Yes. The calculator automatically identifies the earlier date.

Are both dates included?

The total is elapsed time from the start date to the end date; the start date is not counted as an extra full day.

Does it count public holidays?

No.
