What does the Date Difference Calculator do?
Use this to measure durations such as how long you have worked somewhere, a project timeline or the time until an event. The main result counts calendar years, months and days; the extra statistics show total days, weeks plus days, total months (decimal) and hours.
Tick “Include the end date” when both the first and last days should count, as with leave periods or hotel stays counted inclusively. If the end date is before the start date, the absolute difference is shown.
How to use the Date Difference Calculator
