Primary references

How it works

Calculate total days, weeks, hours, weekdays and weekend days between two dates.

  1. Enter the start calendar date.
  2. Enter the end calendar date.
  3. Calculate elapsed days plus equivalent weeks, hours, weekdays and weekend days.

Example

From August 1 to August 31, the elapsed span is 30 days because the calculation measures the interval between the two dates.

How accuracy is handled

The result is calendar-date based and normalizes reversed inputs to a positive span.

Privacy: Inputs are validated and calculations use calendar-aware IANA time-zone rules.

Frequently asked questions

Are the end dates included?

The total is the elapsed interval from the start date to the end date.

What happens if dates are reversed?
