Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Days Between Dates Calculator and how to read the result.
What does exclusive mean?
Exclusive mode measures the interval up to the end date. It does not add the end date as another counted calendar date.
What does inclusive mean?
Inclusive mode counts both selected calendar dates, so it is exactly one greater than the exclusive count for every valid range.
What happens when both dates are identical?
Exclusive mode returns 0. Inclusive mode returns 1 because that one selected calendar date is counted.
Can the end date come first?
No. Reverse ranges are rejected rather than converted to absolute values or silently swapped.
Does this count workdays or holidays?
No. Every civil calendar date is treated alike. Use Workday Calculator for Monday-Friday weekday counting; it has separate holiday limitations.
How is this different from Date Difference?
This page returns one simple integer with an exclusive or inclusive option. Date Difference adds genuine calendar years, months, days, and complete-week decomposition.
