Date Difference Calculator
Find the number of days, weeks, and months between two dates. Free date duration calculator for planning projects, events, and deadlines.
A date difference calculator computes the number of days, weeks, and months between any two dates in the same year. You enter each date as a day-of-year number (1–365), and the calculator instantly subtracts the start from the end to give you the exact gap. This tool is useful for counting down to events, measuring project durations, and calculating deadlines. The calculator also converts the day count into approximate weeks (divided by 7) and months (divided by 30.44, the average number of days in a month on the Gregorian calendar). While this uses same-year day-of-year arithmetic — ideal for short-to-medium date spans within one year — the principles extend naturally. All calculations are private and run in your browser.

How the calculation works
The core formula is simple subtraction: days_between = end_day − start_day. Weeks_between = days_between / 7 (rounded to 1 decimal). Months_between = days_between / 30.44, where 30.44 is the average days per month (365.25-day year ÷ 12 months). For example, January 1 (day 1) to April 10 (day 100): days_between = 100 − 1 = 99 days. Weeks = 99/7 ≈ 14.1 weeks. Months = 99/30.44 ≈ 3.3 months. The result excludes the start day; add 1 for an inclusive count.
