When inclusive day counting matters
Inclusive counting is useful for event spans, memberships, trips, hotel stays, and benefit periods. For elapsed time from one date to another, leave the end date excluded. Business-day counts currently exclude Saturdays and Sundays; check local holidays separately when needed.
Days between dates FAQ
Are holidays excluded from business days?
No. Business days exclude Saturdays and Sundays. Public holidays vary by country, region, and employer, so verify holiday calendars separately.
Can the end date be before the start date?
Yes. The calculator shows the direction and counts the absolute number of dates in the range.
