Days Between Dates Calculator

Count calendar days between two dates, with an option to include both endpoints. A separate Monday-to-Friday count excludes weekends but does not subtract public holidays.

Calculate

Use a decimal point, without thousands separators. Prefilled values are editable examples.

Enter your values and select Calculate.

Formula and calculation method

Elapsed days = absolute difference between calendar dates. Inclusive days = elapsed days + 1. Weekdays are counted by calendar weekday, not by local working rules.

Worked example

From September 1 to September 10, 2026 there are 9 elapsed days or 10 days including both dates. If the two dates are the same, these modes return 0 and 1 respectively.

Assumptions and limitations

For reversed dates, the result states that the end precedes the start. Public holidays, local workweeks and legal deadline rules are not applied. Dates are processed consistently without daylight-saving hours changing the calendar-day count.

Common questions

Does the weekday count exclude bank holidays?

No. It counts Monday through Friday only. A public holiday on a weekday is still counted, so this should not be treated as a jurisdiction-specific business-day calculator.

Why do two date calculators differ by one day?

One may include both dates while another excludes the start. Check the endpoint convention before comparing. This calculator lets you choose explicitly.
