Other Ways to Calculate Dates

Manual Method

You can calculate the time between two dates by breaking it into: Full years, Full months, Remaining days.

This method works but can be time-consuming, especially when leap years or varying month lengths are involved.

Spreadsheet Method

Open Excel or Google Sheets
Enter start and end dates in two cells (e.g., A1 and B1)
In a third cell:

=B1-A1 gives the total number of days

=NETWORKDAYS(A1, B1) counts only weekdays (excluding weekends)

=ABS(B1-A1) returns the absolute value if the end date is earlier

Tips for Using the Date Calculator Accurately

Double-check entries – A simple typo can skew results
Use the right date format – Ensure the calculator reads MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY correctly
Account for leap years – The tool handles this automatically, but it's good to be aware
Consider work days vs. total days – Use the business day option in spreadsheets if needed
