How to use the date calculator

"How many days until that event?" "What weekday is 100 days after signing?" Counting dates on your fingers is error-prone. This tool finds the difference in days and the date N days before/after, complete with the weekday.

Two modes

For the difference, just enter start and end dates — handy for trip lengths or days left to a deadline. Tick "include the first day" to switch to a both-ends-inclusive count, like an event span. For N days before/after, enter a base date and a number to see the date and weekday.

Mind the counting method

Counting differs by context. A "3-day trip (Fri–Sun)" spans 3 days inclusive, but the "difference" from Friday to Sunday is 2 days. Toggle "include the first day" to match your use. Leap years and month boundaries are handled automatically.

Frequently asked questions

How are the days counted?
+
The difference between two dates is computed on the Gregorian calendar.

By default it is end minus start; ticking "include the first day" counts one more (both ends inclusive).
How is the date N days later calculated?
+
The number of days is added (N days after) or subtracted (N days before) from the base date.

Month, year and leap-year boundaries are handled automatically.
Does it handle leap years?
+
Yes. It follows the Gregorian leap-year rule: years divisible by 4 are leap years, except years divisible by 100 but not by 400.
How is the weekday determined?
+
The weekday is computed from the date and shown in English. It is a standard Gregorian-calendar calculation.
Are the dates I enter stored?
+
No. All calculation happens in your browser, and the dates you enter are never sent to or stored on a server.
