What Is the Days Between Dates Calculator?
Our day calculator lets you calculate the number of days between two dates.
You can use it to view the number of days, weeks, months, and years between two dates. You can also use the date calculator to add or subtract days, weeks, months, or years to and from a date.
For example, to answer the questions, "What date will it be two weeks from today?" or "What date was it two weeks ago?", you can use the day calculator to add days to a date or subtract days from a date. However, it does not let you track the time. You can use the online stopwatch, online alarm clock, and online timer for these tasks.

Why Use the Days Between Two Dates Calculator?
Although you can manually count the number of days between two dates, the day calculator makes it easy and fast. If you manually calculate the duration between two dates, you need to take into account leap years. A typical year consists of 365 days, while a leap year consists of 366 days and occurs once every four years. Using the day calculator will save time because you don't have to worry about the complexities of the Gregorian calendar or work out the number of days in the month (which is sometimes 28, 29, 30, or 31).
With this day counter, you can find the number of days between two dates quickly. You can use this days calculator for:
- Organizing events or meetings.
- Holiday and vacation planning.
- Gift-giving occasions.
- Birthday and age calculations.
You can also use the days from dates calculator to help you work out personal tasks. For example, if you want to return an item with a 30-day return window, you can use the days from dates calculator to work out when the last day is that you can return your item.
