How to calculate a date difference or add and subtract days

Use the date calculator hub to count the days between two dates, or to shift a start date forward or backward by a number of days.

  1. Choose the date calculator you need

    Pick a calculator tile: days-between for the gap between two dates, days-until or days-since for a countdown or count-up to a single date, add-days to shift a date, business-days for working days only, or age, what-day, and week-number for the related calculations.

  2. Enter your dates

    On the calculator page, enter the start date and either the end date or the number of days to add or subtract. Days-between needs two dates; add-days needs one date plus a day count and a forward or backward direction.

  3. Read the result

    The calculator updates instantly. Date-difference tools return a whole-day count; add-days returns the resulting calendar date. All math runs on calendar dates, so leap years and daylight-saving changes never skew the answer.

What this hub calculates

The date-math methods, and how each is computed

This hub is a launcher for date calculations that fall into a few distinct families. Each part below explains the generic method; open any calculator tile above for that calculation's live inputs and worked examples.

Date difference

Days-between, days-until, and days-since all measure the same thing — the number of whole calendar days separating two dates. The count is done on calendar dates rather than elapsed milliseconds, so daylight-saving changes and leap days never throw the result off by an hour.

Add and subtract days

Add-days shifts a start date forward or backward by a fixed number of days and returns the resulting calendar date. It steps through the Gregorian calendar, so month lengths and leap years are handled automatically — adding 30 days to January 31 lands in early March, not on an impossible February date.

Business days

The business-days calculator counts only Monday through Friday between two dates, skipping weekends. It answers deadline questions — "ten working days from today" — that a plain calendar count gets wrong. Public holidays are not auto-excluded unless a calculation specifies a holiday set.

Age, weekday, and week number

Age converts a date difference into years, months, and days. What-day returns the weekday a given date falls on. Week-number reports the ISO 8601 week (1 to 52 or 53), where week 1 is the week containing the year's first Thursday and weeks start on Monday.
Every calculator here works on calendar dates in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, so leap years and uneven month lengths are handled automatically. Counts use whole calendar days rather than elapsed time, which keeps results stable across daylight-saving changes.
