Days Between Dates
How many days between two dates?
A plain day count, with the weekday split beside it and the inclusive answer stated too — because half the time "days between" means one more than subtraction gives.
How this is worked out
- Days are counted by local calendar date in your chosen zone, so a daylight-saving change never adds or removes one.
- The weekday census shows how many of each weekday fall in the span.
Questions people ask
The things that come up about days between datess, answered plainly.
Is 1 March to 3 March two days or three?
Two by subtraction, three if you are counting the days themselves. This page shows both, labelled, so you can take the one your situation means. Contracts and hotel bookings usually mean the inclusive count.
Does the count include weekends?
Yes — every calendar day. The business days calculator is the version that removes weekends and public holidays.
Why does the count ignore the time of day?
It counts whole calendar days by local date, so 09:00 on Monday to 23:00 on Tuesday is one day rather than 1.58. The exact total in days, fraction included, is in the unit totals below.
