Count the days between two dates
How many days are between two dates?
Enter a start and end date to get the total number of whole days between them. By default the start day is not counted and the end day is; tick “include the end date” if you need both days counted.
Leap years are handled automatically — for example, 1 February 2024 to 1 March 2024 is 29 days because 2024 is a leap year.
Days between vs the full breakdown
This page gives a single total number of days, which is ideal for deadlines and day counts. If you would rather see the gap expressed as years, months and days, use the Date Difference Calculator instead.
Frequently asked questions
How do I count the days between two dates?
Enter both dates above. The calculator returns the total number of calendar days between them, including weekends and holidays.
Should I include the end date?
Include it when both the first and last day count — for example a hotel stay or an event that runs through the end date. Leave it off to count only the days in between.
