Tip — Work Backwards: If you need to find a date X days from today, use an age calculator with today as start and add to it manually, or use the calculator in reverse by adjusting the end date until the "total days" matches your target.
Indian FY tip: India's financial year runs from 1 April to 31 March. Enter April 1 and March 31 of the current year to quickly confirm there are 365 days (or 366 in a leap year) in the FY.
Tip: Use this calculator to check how many days remain until a tax deadline, exam date, or event.

To calculate days between dates manually: convert both dates to a day count from a fixed reference point, then subtract. In practice, the formula is:
Days = End Date − Start Date (in calendar days, inclusive or exclusive of end date depending on convention)
Our calculator uses the exclusive end date convention — it counts from the start date up to (but not including) the end date, matching how most contracts, notices, and legal documents work. For example, from 1 January to 31 January = 30 days (not 31).
