Days between two dates

Pick a start date and an end date to get the duration in days, weeks and business days (Monday to Friday).

How to count the days between two dates

By default, the calculation excludes the end date: from January 1 to January 2 counts as 1 day. Check "Include the end date" to count both ends, for example for the length of a trip or a leave (Monday to Friday inclusive = 5 days).

Business days and statutory holidays

Business days here include every day from Monday to Friday. Statutory holidays aren't removed automatically, because they vary by province and employer. Holidays observed in most provinces include New Year's Day, Good Friday, Canada Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day; check your province's employment standards for the full list.
