Enter two dates and the calculator tells you how far apart they are, either as a calendar span or as a plain day count.

Difference = end date - start date

If you include the end date, the total day count increases by one when the end date is on or after the start date.

Example 1: March 1 to March 31 is 30 days apart.

Example 2: January 15 to April 15 is 3 months and 0 days apart.

Example 3: A contract starting on one date and ending on another can be measured in calendar time or total days.

Output	Meaning	Action
