    Frequently asked questions

    Can I include both the start and end date?

    Yes. Turn on inclusive counting to include both boundary dates.

    Does it show weekdays only?

    Yes. The result includes a weekday total that excludes Saturdays and Sundays.

    What is the difference between inclusive and exclusive counting modes?

    Inclusive counting adds one day to the total so both the start and end dates are counted (useful for hotel stays), while exclusive counting counts only the days between the two dates.

    How does the weekdays-only mode handle public holidays?

    The weekdays-only filter excludes Saturdays and Sundays but does not account for public holidays, since holidays vary by country and region.

    Does the years-months-days breakdown handle months with different lengths accurately?

    Yes, the tool walks through actual calendar months, correctly handling 28-, 29-, 30-, and 31-day months rather than using a fixed average.
