Days = end − start (+ 1 if the end date is included). Weekdays are counted day by day from the start date.

Frequently asked questions

Should I include the end date?

Include it when counting days of an event or stay (e.g. leave from Monday to Friday is 5 days). Leave it out when measuring elapsed time.
