Time, Age & Calendar

Chronological age calculator, birthday countdown, and working business days between dates.

Time and date calculators count days, ages and annual leave accurately, using real calendar dates so leap years and months of 28, 30 or 31 days are handled properly. People use them for notice periods, project deadlines, contract dates, birthdays and checking how much holiday they are owed.

The Age Calculator gives your exact age in years, months and days, the total days and weeks you have lived, and a countdown to your next birthday with the weekday it falls on. Someone born on 15 June 1995 was 31 years, 3 months and 9 days old on 24 September 2026. You can also measure an age on any past or future date, which helps with age limits on forms and applications.

The Days Between Dates Calculator counts calendar days, working days and weekend days between two dates, and shows the gap in weeks and days. By default it counts from the start date up to, but not including, the end date, so 1 October to 25 December 2026 is 85 days, or 12 weeks and 1 day; tick a box to include the end date. It takes off bank holidays for England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, as published by GOV.UK, or US federal holidays, and lists each one it removed. 2026 has 261 weekdays, leaving 253 working days in England and Wales and 251 in Scotland.

The Holiday Entitlement Calculator is for UK workers. Almost everyone gets 5.6 weeks of paid holiday a year, which is 28 days on a 5-day week, and 28 days is the cap for anyone working more days. Part-time staff multiply their working days by 5.6, so 3 days a week gives 16.8 days. It also handles starting part way through a leave year, irregular-hours and part-year workers, who build up holiday at 12.07% of the hours they work, and NHS Agenda for Change contracts.

Common questions about time, age & calendar

How do I count the days between two dates?

Subtract the start date from the end date. 1 October to 25 December 2026 is 85 days, counting the start date but not the end date. The Days Between Dates Calculator also splits that into 61 working days and 24 weekend days before any bank holidays are removed.

Are bank holidays counted as working days?

No, once you choose a region. Working days are Monday to Friday, less the public holidays for England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland or the US federal calendar. January 2027 has 21 weekdays, but only 20 working days in England and Wales after New Year's Day is taken off.

How is exact age calculated?

Count the whole years since the date of birth, then the whole months, then the days left over. Someone born on 15 June 1995 was 31 years, 3 months and 9 days old on 24 September 2026. The Age Calculator does this against today's date or any date you pick.

How many days holiday am I entitled to in the UK?

Almost all workers get 5.6 weeks of paid holiday a year, which is 28 days on a 5-day week. 28 days is the cap, so a 6-day week still gets 28. Your employer can include bank holidays in this, and your contract can give you more than the legal minimum.

How many working days are there in 2026?

2026 has 261 weekdays. Taking off the 8 bank holidays in England and Wales leaves 253 working days, and Scotland's 10 weekday bank holidays leave 251. Enter 1 January 2026 to 1 January 2027 in the Days Between Dates Calculator and pick your region to check.
