Counting the days between two dates by hand is easy to get wrong, especially across month boundaries or leap years. This tool takes a start and end date and instantly returns the difference in days, weeks, months, and years.
It's handy for tracking project deadlines, calculating someone's exact time in a role, planning an event countdown, or settling a friendly dispute about how long ago something happened.
The calculation accounts for real calendar lengths, including leap years, so the day count is always precise regardless of which months fall in between.
