How weeks between dates are counted

Elapsed days
End date minus start date. The start date is day 0, so May 3 to May 18 is 15 elapsed days.
Inclusive calendar days
Elapsed days plus 1. Use this when both the start and end dates should count.
Full and partial periods
A full week is 7 elapsed days. Partial seven-day periods round the duration up; they are not named calendar week numbers.
ISO calendar weeks touched
This counts distinct Monday-to-Sunday ISO weeks containing at least one selected date, including partial weeks at the boundaries.

This is a calendar-duration calculation. It does not count business days or exclude holidays.

Worked weeks-between examples

2024-02-28 to 2024-03-06

7 elapsed days (1 full week) and 8 inclusive calendar days. This leap-year range includes February 29.

2025-12-29 to 2026-01-12

14 elapsed days (2 full weeks) and 15 inclusive calendar days. Crossing New Year does not change the duration formula.

FAQ

What is the difference between elapsed and inclusive days?

Elapsed days use end date minus start date, so the start is day 0. Inclusive days count both boundary dates and equal elapsed days plus 1.

What does a partial week mean here?

A partial seven-day period is the elapsed duration rounded up to the next week. The separate ISO calendar weeks touched result counts distinct Monday-to-Sunday weeks instead.

Does this calculator count business days or holidays?

No. It measures calendar duration only. Weekends and holidays are included like any other calendar day.

Does crossing a year or leap day change the calculation?

No. Valid calendar dates are compared directly, so New Year boundaries and February 29 are included automatically.
