Days Between Dates Calculator
Choose two dates to see how many days, weeks and working days are between them.
Choose both dates above.
How the days are counted
By default the calculator counts the days after the start date up to and including the end date. For example, from 1 January to 2 January is 1 day. Switch on count the end date as well if you want both the first and the last day included, which is common for holidays and contracts.
Working days
Working days are Monday to Friday. Bank holidays are not removed, because they differ between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. See the bank holiday dates to take them off yourself.
