Question 1

How do I calculate days between two dates?

Accepted Answer

Enter a start date and an end date. The calculator instantly shows the total days between them. You can also exclude weekends and include the start date in the count.

Question 2

What does "exclude weekends" do?

Accepted Answer

When enabled, the calculator counts only weekdays (Monday through Friday) between the dates, excluding Saturdays and Sundays. Useful for business day calculations.

Question 3

What is the difference between inclusive and exclusive counting?

Accepted Answer

Exclusive counting (default) counts the days between dates. Inclusive counting adds 1 to include the start date itself. For example, Monday to Tuesday is 1 day exclusive but 2 days inclusive.

Question 4

Can I use negative date ranges?

Accepted Answer

If the end date is before the start date, the calculator shows a warning and automatically inverts the dates, displaying the absolute difference. You can also click "Swap dates" to flip them.
