How accurate is the days between dates calculation?
Our calculator provides exact day calculations using precise date arithmetic. It accounts for leap years, different month lengths, and all calendar variations automatically.
Can I calculate business days only?
This calculator shows total calendar days. For business days (excluding weekends), you would need to manually subtract weekends or use a specialized business days calculator.
What if the end date is before the start date?
The calculator will show the absolute number of days and indicate that the end date is "Before Start Date" to help you understand the relationship between the dates.
Does this work across different years?
Yes! The calculator works across any date range, whether it's days, months, or years apart. It automatically handles leap years and varying month lengths.
