Inclusive count

Inclusive mode adds one extra day so a same-day range counts as one day instead of zero.

Business day rule

Business days in this tool count Monday through Friday only and do not remove public holidays.

How it works

The calculator sorts the dates from earliest to latest, measures the exact elapsed day count, and then derives weeks from the day total. Calendar difference is shown as years, months, and days rather than as a decimal approximation.

If you enable business days, the tool loops through the range and counts weekdays only. Holidays are not excluded because holiday calendars differ by country and employer.

Use inclusive mode when you need to count both endpoints, such as project schedules, rentals, and events that start and end on named dates.
