Date Difference
Count the days between two dates — or find the date a set number of days after or before another.
Counting calendar days. A calendar day is the same in every country, so no jurisdiction applies.

How the count works
- Count the days measures the gap between the two dates, so the start date itself is not counted: one day apart is 1, and the same date twice is 0.
- Find a date works the other way, adding or subtracting that many calendar days from the start, which is also not counted. The two agree, so the date ten days after a start is ten days from it.
- Every calendar day counts the same. Nothing is skipped for weekends or public holidays, which is what Business Days is for.
Worked examples
- From 1 March to 15 March is 14 days. To count a stay that includes both the first and last day, add one: 15.
- Ten days after 1 March lands on 11 March; ten days before it lands on 19 February except where a leap day shifts it to 20 February.
Common questions
- Which countries does this work for?
Every country. Counting calendar days is the same everywhere, so unlike a business-day count it needs no country data and is never withheld.
- Do daylight saving or leap years change the count?
No. Days are counted by the calendar, not the clock, so a daylight-saving change inside the range never adds or drops a day. A leap day counts as an ordinary day, so a span crossing 29 February is one day longer than the same span in a common year.
