The Date to Date Calculator lets you find the number of days, months, and years between two dates.
Checking Include end date in calculation counts the final day in your result.
If you want to count how many days something lasted, for example, an event that lasted from the 1st to and including the 4th day of the month, this should be checked (result: 4 days.) Otherwise, the last day would not be counted (returning 3 days).
If you want to calculate the age of something, leave this unchecked (the last/end date is not counted as one additional day).
The Add time fields link takes you to the Time Duration Calculator where you can add hours, minutes, and seconds to your calculation.
The Add time zone conversion link takes you to the Time Zone Duration Calculator where you can calculate the duration between a point in time in one time zone and a different point in time in another time zone.
The Count only workdays link takes you to the Business Date Calculator where you can exclude different days, like weekends and public holidays.
The calculator adds or subtracts the larger time units before the smaller time units. This means that it adds years, then months, then days. Although the total number of days in January (31) and February (28) are different, both are counted as 1 month. In some cases, this method can lead to unexpected results.
For example, in a common year, the time span between January 28 and March 1 is calculated as 1 month and 1 day (January 28 + 1 month = February 28; February 28 + 1 day = March 1).
However, the time span between January 31 and March 1 is also shown as 1 month and 1 day. The calculator first adds 1 month to jump from January to February. But since February only has 28 days in a common year, it lands on February 28 before adding 1 day to arrive at March 1.
This may seem illogical at first, but the structure of our calendar means that there is no perfect way of calculating dates including months and years.

In our calculations the first day of the entered period is always included. However, we do have the option to include the end day. Try selecting the day after if you don't want a day to count.
Checking Include end date in calculation counts the final day in your result.

If you want to calculate the age of something, leave this unchecked. See "What can I use the Date Duration Calculator for?" for 2 examples of calculations.

This is most likely not an error but due to the fact that the Julian calendar was still in use in the year you entered. This calendar system was eventually replaced by today's Gregorian calendar, but the date this change happened differed from one country to another.
The calculator uses the Julian-Gregorian switch date of the country you select in the settings under My Units.
