Counting the days between two dates

This day counter works out how many days fall between any two dates. Enter a start date and an end date in either order — the result is always shown as a positive number, so the counter works just as well for counting down to a future event as it does for measuring how long ago something happened.

By default it counts the gap between the two dates. If you are counting something where the last day should be included, such as a hotel stay or a rental period, switch on "include the end date" to add that final day. Alongside the total number of days you also get the figure in weeks and leftover days, an approximate number of months, and a years, months, and days breakdown, all based on real calendar dates so leap years are handled for you.
