About Date Calculator
This tool counts the number of days between two dates. Pick a start date and an end date and it shows the total number of days, the same gap as years, months and days, and roughly how many weeks that is. The order does not matter: if the second date is earlier, the tool counts from the earlier date to the later one.
By default the end date is not counted, so 1 May to 2 May is 1 day. If you want both the first and the last day included, for example to count the days of a trip or a leave period, tick Include the end date in the count and the total goes up by one.
The tool counts calendar days, not working days, so weekends and public holidays are included. Dates are treated as whole days, so daylight saving changes cannot add or remove a day.
