Subtract today's date from the target date. The formula accounts for varying month lengths and leap years. Example: January 15 to March 10 = 16 days (Jan) + 28 days (Feb) + 10 days (Mar) = 54 days.

Formula: Target date - Current date = Days remaining
Accounts for different month lengths (28-31 days)
Handles leap years automatically (Feb 29)
Negative result = days in the past
Includes weekends and holidays in count

Does the days calculation include today?

By default, the calculation excludes today and counts full days between dates. If today is January 1 and target is January 3, result is 2 days. For inclusive count (including both start and end dates), add 1 to the result.

Default: Excludes today (days between)
Jan 1 to Jan 2 = 1 day
Jan 1 to Jan 1 = 0 days
Inclusive count: Add 1 to include both dates
Business days: Subtract weekends and holidays

How do I calculate business days until a date?

Business days exclude weekends (Sat-Sun) and holidays. Rough estimate: Multiply calendar days by 5/7 (71%). For 14 calendar days, approximately 10 are business days. Add extra for holiday weeks.

Business days = Calendar days × 5/7
1 week = 5 business days
2 weeks = 10 business days
1 month ≈ 22 business days
Subtract holidays from count
Common: 252 business days per year

Calendar Days	Approx Business Days	Weeks
7	5	1 week
14	10	2 weeks
30	22	~1 month
90	65	~3 months

How do I convert days to weeks and months?

Divide days by 7 for weeks (e.g., 28 days = 4 weeks). For months, divide by 30.44 (average month length). 90 days ≈ 3 months. 365 days = 1 year = 52 weeks.

1 week = 7 days
1 month = 30 or 31 days (28-29 for Feb)
Average month = 30.44 days
1 year = 365 days (366 leap year)
1 decade = 3,652 days (with 2-3 leap years)

Days	Weeks	Months	Years
7	1	0.23	-
30	4.3	1	-
90	12.9	3	0.25
180	25.7	6	0.5
365	52.1	12	1

Can I calculate days since a past event?

Enter past date = shows days since
Sobriety/streak tracking
Relationship anniversaries
Days worked at a job
