Frequently Asked Questions
How can I calculate the difference between two dates?
Select your start date and end date using the date pickers, then click “Calculate Difference.” You can use the “Today” buttons for quick date selection or the swap button to reverse the dates. The calculator shows comprehensive results including days, weeks, months, years, and business days.
What does “including end date” mean in the results?
The main result shows the difference excluding the end date (standard calculation). “Including end date” adds one more day to the count, which is useful for scenarios like counting vacation days or event durations where both start and end dates are included.
How are business days calculated?
Business days exclude weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) from the total count. Our calculator automatically identifies weekdays between your selected dates, making it perfect for work-related timeline planning and professional scheduling.
Can I calculate someone’s exact age?
Yes! Enter the person’s birth date as the start date and today’s date (or any specific date) as the end date. The calculator shows the exact age in years, months, and days, plus total days lived and other time breakdowns.
What’s the difference between total days and exact duration?
Total days shows the simple day count difference. Exact duration breaks this down into years, months, and days format (like “2 years, 3 months, 15 days”) which is more meaningful for understanding long time periods.
Can I calculate dates in the past?
Absolutely! Our calculator works with any combination of past, present, and future dates. It automatically detects the direction and shows whether you’re calculating into the past or future.
