Frequently Asked Questions

How are days between dates counted?

The calculator counts full 24-hour days between the two dates, ignoring time of day. The start date itself is not counted; the end date is.

Does it handle leap years?

Yes — it uses real calendar dates, so February 29 and leap years are counted correctly.

Can the end date be before the start date?

Yes. The calculator shows the absolute difference, so order does not matter.

What is the difference between this and the Age Calculator?

The Age Calculator expresses a birth date as years, months and days lived. This tool measures the raw gap between any two dates you choose.
