FAQ
Does the D-Day counter include the start date?
No. The calculation counts the days between the two dates, not including the start date itself. For example, Jan 1 to Jan 3 = 2 days.
How are business days calculated?
Business days exclude Saturdays and Sundays. Public holidays are not excluded since they vary by country.
What does D+ mean?
D+ indicates the number of days that have passed since the target date. For example, D+5 means 5 days have passed.
Can I calculate dates in the past?
Yes. You can enter any past or future dates. The tool handles both directions correctly.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All date calculations happen entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server.
