❓ FAQ

How do I count days between two dates?

Simple: subtract the earlier date from the later date. Or use the Date Calculator which handles leap years and month length variations automatically.

How many business days are in a month?

Roughly 21–22 business days per month on average. February has 20 (in non-leap years), while longer months can have 22–23.

Does the calculator handle leap years?

Yes. The calculator uses the Gregorian calendar and correctly accounts for leap years (2024, 2028, 2032, etc.), including the "year divisible by 100 but not 400" rule.

How do I add a 30-day notice period to a date?

Use the Add/Subtract mode in the Date Calculator: enter your start date, choose "+30 days," and it shows the exact end date. Whether you count business days or calendar days depends on your contract's language.
