Days Between Dates
Enter a start and end date to get the total days between them, broken down into weeks and business days.
Overview
Counting days between two dates by hand means tracking varying month lengths and leap years, and "how many days" often really means "how many working days," which needs weekends excluded too. This tool returns all three views — total calendar days, whole weeks plus remainder, and business days (Monday–Friday) — from a single pair of dates.
Examples
Simple range
2026-01-01 to 2026-03-01
59 days
Across a leap day
2028-02-01 to 2028-03-01
29 days
How It Works
- Enter the start date and the end date.
- The total number of calendar days, the weeks/days breakdown, and the business day count appear instantly.
Use Cases
Project timelines
Work out how many working days remain until a deadline.
Billing periods
Confirm the exact day count in a billing or subscription period.
Tips
- The business day count excludes Saturdays and Sundays only — it doesn't account for public holidays, since those vary by country and region.
FAQ
No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript.
The total day count is the difference between the two dates — the end date itself is the boundary, not an extra counted day, matching how "days between" is normally understood.
Either order works — the tool always returns a positive count regardless of which date you enter first.
