Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the days-between calculator?

This one emphasizes the calendar breakdown (years/months/days) that people use for ages, tenancies and anniversaries. The days-between calculator focuses on the raw day count, weeks and business days.

Is the end date counted?

The duration is the difference between the two dates, so January 1 to January 2 is 1 day. Both dates at the same value give a duration of zero.
