Counting days sounds simple until you hit a month with 28 days instead of 30, or a leap year that adds one back in. This calculator uses the actual Gregorian calendar, not a fixed 30-day-month approximation, so results stay accurate across February, leap years, and year boundaries.
Adding a month to a date isn't always the same number of days. "One month from January 31" is commonly interpreted as February 28 (or 29 in a leap year), since February has no 31st day — the month rolls forward and the day clamps to the last valid date. This calculator follows that convention.
Business day counts exclude Saturdays and Sundays by default. For calculations that also need to exclude public holidays for a specific country, use the business days calculator.
