Date Difference Calculator

How many days between two dates? Whether you're counting down to a deadline, measuring a project timeline, or checking a notice period, this calculator gives you the exact difference — total days plus an approximate breakdown in weeks, months and years, and a precise calendar breakdown like "1 year, 2 months, 3 days".

How it works

The total days is the exact count of midnights between the two dates (UTC, so timezones can't skew it). The approximations divide that count:

Weeks = days ÷ 7  ·  Months ≈ days ÷ 30.44  ·  Years ≈ days ÷ 365.25

30.44 is the average month length (365.25 ÷ 12) and 365.25 is the average year length including leap years. The exact breakdown instead walks the real calendar — full years, then full months with their true lengths, then leftover days.

Worked example

From 1 Jan 2024 to 15 Mar 2024:

  • Total days = 31 (Jan) + 29 (Feb, leap year) + 14 = 74 days
  • Exact breakdown = 0 years, 2 months, 14 days
  • ≈ 10.57 weeks, ≈ 2.43 months, ≈ 0.20 years

Understanding your results

Total days is the number to use for deadlines, interest calculations and notice periods. Exact breakdown is the human-friendly phrasing ("2 months, 14 days"). The ≈ weeks/months/years figures are quick approximations — fine for planning, but don't use the month figure for anything contractual, since real months vary from 28 to 31 days.

Frequently asked questions

No — the calculator takes the absolute difference, so start and end are interchangeable. The result is the same either way.
