How to use Date difference

Measure the calendar-day gap between two dates for planning or checking a schedule. This calculator works with dates rather than times of day, so it does not measure hours or time-zone offsets. Its day difference excludes the end date; add one yourself if your task requires both boundary dates to be counted.
