In short

Days between two dates are counted as the number of midnights crossed, excluding the end date — the standard for interest, rent and legal periods — while visa stays count both the arrival and departure days inclusively. Working days exclude Saturday–Sunday in Pakistan, the UAE and the UK, and Friday–Saturday in Saudi Arabia.

Who this is for: Anyone counting days for visas, notice periods, payment terms, project deadlines or a countdown.

Not tax or legal advice. Public holidays are not applied to working-day counts; visa and legal day-counting conventions should be confirmed with the issuing authority.

How the days are counted

  • Days between is the exact count of midnights between the two dates — the standard way interest, rent and most legal periods are counted (the end date is excluded). Switch to inclusive for visa stays and Schengen-style "days present" counting, where both the arrival and departure days count.
  • Working days skip the weekend you choose: Saturday–Sunday for Pakistan, the UAE (since 2022) and the UK, Friday–Saturday for Saudi Arabia. Public holidays are not excluded, since they differ by country and year.
  • Add days gives the calendar result and, separately, the date after that many working days — e.g. a 10-working-day notice or a net-30 payment term.
  • Months are shown as days ÷ 30.44 (the average month) alongside the exact calendar difference.

Assumptions

  • Days = midnights between the dates (+1 when inclusive); working days skip the chosen weekend, not public holidays.
  • Add-days mode returns the calendar date and the date after N working days.
  • Months shown as days ÷ 30.44 alongside the exact calendar y/m/d difference.

Worked example

Entered the UAE on 1 September 2026 on a 90-day visit visa

Inclusive counting from 1 September: day 90 is 29 November 2026, so the last permitted day of stay is 29 November and an exit on 30 November is day 91. Counting exclusively (90 days after entry) gives 30 November — the difference of one day is exactly where overstay fines start, so use the inclusive setting for visas.

Frequently asked questions

Does a 90-day visa include the day of arrival?

In the UAE and Saudi Arabia the arrival day counts as day 1, so a 90-day stay ends on the 90th calendar day including arrival. Use the inclusive option.

How many working days are in a year?

About 261 for a Saturday–Sunday weekend (365 − 104) before public holidays; Pakistan then has 12–15 public holidays, the UAE about 13, the UK 8.

How do I count net-30 payment terms?

Add 30 calendar days to the invoice date (exclusive counting). Use the add-days mode; the working-day line shows when the payment would land if the customer pays only on business days.

Why does the month count differ from the calendar difference?

Months vary from 28 to 31 days; the calendar line counts real months, the 'months' figure divides by the 30.44-day average.

How many days until Ramadan?

Enter today and the expected first day of Ramadan (around 18 February 2027) as the end date; the countdown line shows the days to go.

How are 90 days counted for a Schengen or GCC visa?

Inclusively — the day of entry is day 1 and the day of exit also counts; use the inclusive setting.
