Next: Days between dates calculatorThe number of days between two dates.

Civil dates on the Gregorian calendar. The start date is day zero. No time of day.

How this is calculated

How it works
  1. Step 1

    A start date

    Today, unless you type another date.

  2. Step 2

    A count

    Positive days move forward. Negative days move back.

  3. Step 3

    The landing date

    The calendar date and the weekday. Weekends are not skipped.

Calendar shift

result = start + N calendar days

What the symbols mean
startThe date you count from. Defaults to today.
NWhole days to add. A negative N counts backward.

Adding 1 lands on tomorrow, not today. Adding 0 stays on the start date.

Leap days are included when the span crosses 29 February. Daylight saving and time zones never change the result, because these are dates rather than instants.

If you already know both dates and want the size of the gap, use days between dates.

Questions

Does the count include today?

No. Today is day zero. One day from today is tomorrow.

Can I start from a date that is not today?

Yes. Change the start date, or use Today to snap it back. The worked examples use fixed dates so the written answer does not move overnight.

What happens in a leap year?

29 February is a normal calendar day when it exists. A 366-day shift from 1 January in a leap year lands on 1 January next year only if you counted that extra day. The tool uses the real calendar, not a 365-day year.

How do I measure a gap I already know?

That is the days between dates calculator. This page answers the opposite question: you know the number of days and want the date.
