Date Difference Calculator
Calculate the difference between two calendar dates in your browser — enter a start date and an end date and get the total number of days, plus a calendar breakdown into years, months, and days (for example, 1 year, 2 months, and 5 days), not a rough estimate from dividing the total by 365 or 30.
How to use it
- Enter a start date and an end date
- Click Calculate
- Read the total number of days, the year/month/day breakdown, and the equivalent in weeks and days
The total is also shown as whole weeks and remaining days. Leap years and February 29 are handled correctly, and dates are compared as calendar dates rather than as local timestamps, so the same two dates always give the same result no matter which time zone your browser is set to. This tool does not calculate business days, holidays, working hours, or time zones — it only compares two calendar dates. Everything is calculated locally in your browser, so the dates you enter are never sent to a server or stored anywhere.

Yes, including February 29 and the century leap-year rule.
