1. Days Between Dates β Most Popular Use Case
The βDays Betweenβ tab is perfect when you want to know how long a contract runs, how many days are left until a deadline, or how far apart two important events are. Select a start date and an end date, then click Calculate. Youβll instantly see the total days plus an easy breakdown in weeks, months, years, hours and seconds.
For percentage changes or comparisons related to time or money (for example, project cost increase over a period), you can also combine this tool with our Percentage Calculator.
2. Add or Subtract Days β Plan Future & Past Dates
The Add Days and Subtract Days tabs are designed for planning: invoice due dates, loan payments, school assignments, content publishing schedules, and more. Enter a starting date, choose how many days to add or subtract, and the calculator returns the exact result date plus:
- The day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, etc.).
- The week number of the year (useful in Europe and the UK).
- The day number within the year.
- The quarter and number of days in that month.
If you are planning financial goals based on these dates, pair this with our Loan Calculator or Compound Interest Calculator to estimate payments and savings over time.
3. Exact Age Calculator β Years, Months, Days & Seconds
The built-in Age Calculator tab is useful for anything where exact age matters: school registration, sports eligibility, retirement planning, Social Security or pension rules, visas, or simply curiosity. Enter your date of birth and the βAge as ofβ date (usually today), then hit Calculate.
Youβll see:
- Exact age in years, months and days.
- Total days and weeks youβve been alive.
- Total months, hours, minutes and even seconds.
If youβre tracking fitness or health progress over time, you may also like our BMI Calculator or Calorie Calculator.
4. Business Days Calculator β Workdays Only
Many users from the US, UK and Europe need to know working days only between two dates for HR, payroll, project SLAs or banking. The Business Days tab counts Monday to Friday and treats Saturday and Sunday as weekends.
This is especially useful when:
- You want to estimate how many workdays remain before a project deadline.
- Youβre checking notice periods, probation periods or leave balances.
- Youβre aligning cross-border work schedules between US and EU teams.
Public holidays are not removed automatically, so for legal or banking decisions you should always cross-check local holiday calendars.
5. Calendar Systems β Global Overview
Our calendar overview shows how the same date roughly maps to other major calendar traditions, including Islamic (Hijri), Hebrew (Jewish), Persian (Solar Hijri), Buddhist and Japanese eras. This is meant for educational and awareness purposes and should not be used for religious or legal calculations. For exact religious calendar dates, always confirm with an official local calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Date Calculator
1. What can I calculate with this Date Calculator?
You can calculate days between two dates, add or subtract days, work out exact age, and estimate business days between dates. Itβs ideal for users in the US, UK, Canada, Europe and other regions using the Gregorian calendar.
2. Is the Date Calculator accurate for US and UK date formats?
Yes. The calendar fields store dates internally in a standard format, so whether you think in MM/DD/YYYY (USA) or DD/MM/YYYY (UK & Europe), the result is calculated correctly as long as you pick your dates from the calendar selector.
3. Does the Business Days Calculator remove weekends and holidays?
The Business Days mode removes weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and counts only Monday to Friday. Public holidays are not removed automatically, so for critical legal, payroll or banking decisions you should also check a local holiday calendar.
4. Can I use this Date Calculator for visa, pension or Social Security age checks?
Yes, you can use the Age tab to see your exact age as of a specific date, which is helpful for many visa, pension and Social Security rules. However, always confirm the final eligibility with the official government website or your legal advisor.
5. Does the tool support different time zones?
The calculator works with calendar dates, not clock times, so itβs time-zone neutral. If two countries are in different time zones, but youβre comparing whole dates (for example, 1 June to 15 June), the result is the same everywhere.
6. Is this Date Calculator free to use on mobile and desktop?
Yes. The Date Calculator is completely free and optimized for phones, tablets and laptops. On mobile devices youβll see a clean layout with a slide-down menu and large, easy-to-tap buttons.
7. Can I export or download my date calculation?
Yes, after running a calculation you can download a TXT report or a CSV file that opens in Excel. This is useful for attaching evidence to project documents, HR files, or client reports.
8. Does the Date Calculator support non-Gregorian religious calendars?
The main calculations use the Gregorian calendar, which is standard in the USA, UK and most of the world. The other calendar views (Islamic, Hebrew, Persian, Buddhist, Japanese) are shown as an approximate educational overview only and should not replace official religious calendars.
