Formula, example & assumptions

Behind the answer

How it works

Dates are mapped to UTC calendar-day numbers, so daylight-saving clock changes do not affect the count. The default counts the gap between dates. Select both endpoints to add one day.

Days = end calendar date − start calendar date

A worked example

28 February 2024 to 1 March 2024 is a gap of 2 days because 2024 contains 29 February. Counting both dates gives 3 calendar days.
