How to calculate number of days between two dates?
(42 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
How do I get the difference between 2 dates in full days (I don't want any fractions of a day)
var date1 = new Date('7/11/2010');
var date2 = new Date('12/12/2010');
var diffDays = date2.getDate() - date1.getDate();
alert(diffDays)
I tried the above but this did not work.

Here is one way:
const date1 = new Date('7/13/2010');
const date2 = new Date('12/15/2010');
const diffTime = Math.abs(date2 - date1);
const diffDays = Math.ceil(diffTime / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
console.log(diffTime + " milliseconds");
console.log(diffDays + " days");
Observe that we need to enclose the date in quotes. The rest of the code gets the time difference in milliseconds and then divides to get the number of days. Date expects mm/dd/yyyy format.

A more correct solution
... since dates naturally have time-zone information, which can span regions with different day light savings adjustments
Previous answers to this question don't account for cases where the two dates in question span a daylight saving time (DST) change. The date on which the DST change happens will have a duration in milliseconds which is != 1000*60*60*24, so the typical calculation will fail.
You can work around this by first normalizing the two dates to UTC, and then calculating the difference between those two UTC dates.
Now, the solution can be written as,
// a and b are javascript Date objects
function dateDiffInDays(a, b) {
const _MS_PER_DAY = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
// Discard the time and time-zone information.
const utc1 = Date.UTC(a.getFullYear(), a.getMonth(), a.getDate());
const utc2 = Date.UTC(b.getFullYear(), b.getMonth(), b.getDate());
return Math.floor((utc2 - utc1) / _MS_PER_DAY);
}
// test it
const a = new Date("2017-01-01"),
b = new Date("2017-07-25"),
difference = dateDiffInDays(a, b);
console.log(difference + ' days')
This works because UTC time never observes DST. See Does UTC observe daylight saving time?
p.s. After discussing some of the comments on this answer, once you've understood the issues with javascript dates that span a DST boundary, there is likely more than just one way to solve it. What I provided above is a simple (and tested) solution. I'd be interested to know if there is a simple arithmetic/math based solution instead of having to instantiate the two new Date objects. That could potentially be faster.

var date1 = new Date("7/11/2010");
var date2 = new Date("8/11/2010");
var diffDays = parseInt((date2 - date1) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24), 10);
alert(diffDays )

I tried lots of ways, and found that using datepicker was the best, but the date format causes problems with JavaScript....
So here's my answer and can be run out of the box.
<input type="text" id="startdate">
<input type="text" id="enddate">
<input type="text" id="days">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.0/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/themes/redmond/jquery-ui.css" />
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$( "#startdate,#enddate" ).datepicker({
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
firstDay: 1,
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
})
$( "#startdate" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy' });
$( "#enddate" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy' });
$('#enddate').change(function() {
var start = $('#startdate').datepicker('getDate');
var end = $('#enddate').datepicker('getDate');
if (start<end) {
var days = (end - start)/1000/60/60/24;
$('#days').val(days);
}
else {
alert ("You cant come back before you have been!");
$('#startdate').val("");
$('#enddate').val("");
$('#days').val("");
}
}); //end change function
}); //end ready
</script>
a Fiddle can be seen here DEMO

This is the code to subtract one date from another. This example converts the dates to objects as the getTime() function won't work unless it's an Date object.
var dat1 = document.getElementById('inputDate').value;
var date1 = new Date(dat1)//converts string to date object
alert(date1);
var dat2 = document.getElementById('inputFinishDate').value;
var date2 = new Date(dat2)
alert(date2);
var oneDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000; // hours*minutes*seconds*milliseconds
var diffDays = Math.abs((date1.getTime() - date2.getTime()) / (oneDay));
alert(diffDays);

How to get current day count of the quarter [duplicate]

I have two input dates taking from Date Picker control. I have selected start date 2/2/2012 and end date 2/7/2012. I have written following code for that.
I should get result as 6 but I am getting 5.
function SetDays(invoker) {
var start = $find('<%=StartWebDatePicker.ClientID%>').get_value();
var end = $find('<%=EndWebDatePicker.ClientID%>').get_value();
var oneDay=1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
var difference_ms = Math.abs(end.getTime() - start.getTime())
var diffValue = Math.round(difference_ms / oneDay);
}
Can anyone tell me how I can get exact difference?

http://momentjs.com/ or https://date-fns.org/
From Moment docs:
var a = moment([2007, 0, 29]);
var b = moment([2007, 0, 28]);
a.diff(b, 'days') // =1
or to include the start:
a.diff(b, 'days')+1 // =2
Beats messing with timestamps and time zones manually.
Depending on your specific use case, you can either
Use a/b.startOf('day') and/or a/b.endOf('day') to force the diff to be inclusive or exclusive at the "ends" (as suggested by #kotpal in the comments).
Set third argument true to get a floating point diff which you can then Math.floor, Math.ceil or Math.round as needed.
Option 2 can also be accomplished by getting 'seconds' instead of 'days' and then dividing by 24*60*60.

If you are using moment.js you can do it easily.
var start = moment("2018-03-10", "YYYY-MM-DD");
var end = moment("2018-03-15", "YYYY-MM-DD");
//Difference in number of days
moment.duration(start.diff(end)).asDays();
//Difference in number of weeks
moment.duration(start.diff(end)).asWeeks();
If you want to find difference between a given date and current date in number of days (ignoring time), make sure to remove time from moment object of current date as below
moment().startOf('day')
To find difference between a given date and current date in number of days
var given = moment("2018-03-10", "YYYY-MM-DD");
var current = moment().startOf('day');
//Difference in number of days
moment.duration(given.diff(current)).asDays();

Try this Using moment.js (Its quite easy to compute date operations in javascript)
firstDate.diff(secondDate, 'days', false);// true|false for fraction value
Result will give you number of days in integer.

Try:
//Difference in days
var diff = Math.floor(( start - end ) / 86400000);
alert(diff);

This works for me:
const from = '2019-01-01';
const to = '2019-01-08';
Math.abs(
moment(from, 'YYYY-MM-DD')
.startOf('day')
.diff(moment(to, 'YYYY-MM-DD').startOf('day'), 'days')
) + 1
);

I made a quick re-usable function in ES6 using Moment.js.
const getDaysDiff = (start_date, end_date, date_format = 'YYYY-MM-DD') => {
const getDateAsArray = (date) => {
return moment(date.split(/\D+/), date_format);
}
return getDateAsArray(end_date).diff(getDateAsArray(start_date), 'days') + 1;
}
console.log(getDaysDiff('2019-10-01', '2019-10-30'));
console.log(getDaysDiff('2019/10/01', '2019/10/30'));
console.log(getDaysDiff('2019.10-01', '2019.10 30'));
console.log(getDaysDiff('2019 10 01', '2019 10 30'));
console.log(getDaysDiff('+++++2019!!/###10/$$01', '2019-10-30'));
console.log(getDaysDiff('2019-10-01-2019', '2019-10-30'));
console.log(getDaysDiff('10-01-2019', '10-30-2019', 'MM-DD-YYYY'));
console.log(getDaysDiff('10-01-2019', '10-30-2019'));
console.log(getDaysDiff('10-01-2019', '2019-10-30', 'MM-DD-YYYY'));
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.24.0/moment.js"></script>

Also you can use this code: moment("yourDateHere", "YYYY-MM-DD").fromNow(). This will calculate the difference between today and your provided date.

// today
const date = new Date();
// tomorrow
const nextDay = new Date(new Date().getTime() + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
// Difference in time
const Difference_In_Time = nextDay.getTime() - date.getTime();
// Difference in Days
const Difference_In_Days = Difference_In_Time / (1000 * 3600 * 24);

how to find difference in days between day and month irrespective of years

I want to know the difference between to two dates irrespective of year..
For Example : format date/month/year
For example difference of today date to some date lets take 01/06
The expected answer for this will be around 185 days..
I tried below example..Let me know whats wrong with this
var a = moment('06/01','M/D');
console.log(a);
var b = moment();
console.log(b);
var diffDays = b.diff(a, 'days');
alert(diffDays);
I dont want to use momet.js atmost. If it can be done with javascript its so good for me.

A nice trick could be to set the year to always the same.
var a = moment('2015/06/01','Y/M/D');
console.log(a);
var b = moment().set('year', 2015);
console.log(b);
var diffDays = b.diff(a, 'days');
alert(diffDays);
The problem about your question in general is how to deal with leap years; how the script should know the difference between 2/20 and 3/1 ? You have to consider how to solve this.

Barth Zaleweski is 100% on track with that. If you want to use straight javascript:
var today = new Date();
var otherDate = new Date(today);
otherDate.setMonth(5); // Set the month (on scale from 0 to 11)
otherDate.setDate(1); // set day
var seconds = (otherDate.getTime() - today.getTime()) / 1000;
var minutes = seconds / 60;
var hours = minutes / 60;
var days = hours / 24;
console.log(days);
There are methods for setting hour/minute/second as well, but if you don't do anything they'll be the same as the start, and you can obviously call those same methods on your start time if you don't want to use today.

Can try using this:
var str1 = '06/01', str2 = '02/28', d1, d2, diff;
function setDate(str, date) {
var date = new Date(),
dateParts = str.split('/'),
monthIndex = parseInt(dateParts[0], 10) - 1,
day = parseInt(dateParts[1], 10);
date.setMonth(monthIndex);
date.setDate(day);
return date
}
d1 = setDate(str1);
d2 = setDate(str2);
diff = Math.round(Math.abs((d1 - d2) / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)))
console.log(diff) // returns 93
The rounding is due to differences in daylight savings (or other locale time shifts within the year) that can cause decimal values returned.
It is probably better to use UTC for this
If current year is leap year and dates span end of February then Feb 29 would also be counted

If it is this year then I am getting a difference of 147 using a library that I have been working on (AstroDate) which doesn't rely on javascript's Date object, it's all done with pure math.
require.config({
paths: {
'astrodate': '//rawgit.com/Xotic750/astrodate/master/lib/astrodate'
}
});
require(['astrodate'], function (AstroDate) {
"use strict";
var diff = new AstroDate("2015","6","1").jd() - new AstroDate("2015","1","5").jd();
document.body.appendChild(document.createTextNode(diff));
});
<script src="http://requirejs.org/docs/release/2.1.8/minified/require.js"></script>
If it was next year, which is a leap year then I am getting 148
require.config({
paths: {
'astrodate': '//rawgit.com/Xotic750/astrodate/master/lib/astrodate'
}
});
require(['astrodate'], function (AstroDate) {
"use strict";
var diff = new AstroDate("2016", "6", "1").jd() - new AstroDate("2016", "1", "5").jd();
document.body.appendChild(document.createTextNode(diff));
});
<script src="http://requirejs.org/docs/release/2.1.8/minified/require.js"></script>

JavaScript: check if date A is at most 3 times earlier/late than date B

I have to write a JavaScript function that checks if two dates (formatted dd/MM/yyyy) make a time interval of at most 3 months.
I can retrieve the two values from two textboxes (no need to check formatting, I have been given a calendar control that automatically formats the date correctly).
I have almost no experience with JavaScript. Can you help me?
Examples:
15/2/2011, 13/2/2011 -> return true
6/1/2011, 5/10/2010 -> return false
I already check that date A is later than date B (the calendar does it for me)

No need for a ton of code:
function days_between(date1, date2) {
return Math.round(Math.abs(date1 - date2) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) > 90;
}
date1 and date2 are Date objects e.g.
var date1 = new Date('mm/dd/yyyy');

You can find difference between two dates and return value accordingly.
function days_between(date1, date2) {
// The number of milliseconds in one day
var ONE_DAY = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24
// Convert both dates to milliseconds
var date1_ms = date1.getTime()
var date2_ms = date2.getTime()
// Calculate the difference in milliseconds
var difference_ms = Math.abs(date1_ms - date2_ms)
// check converting back to days and return
return (Math.round(difference_ms/ONE_DAY) >90);
}
If you are unable to check or parse date correctly then you should use
var x=txtDate1.split("/"); //Here txtDate1 and txtDate2 are values from your textbox
var y=txtDate2.split("/");
//date format(Fullyear,month,date)
var date1=new Date(x[2],(x[1]-1),x[0]);
var date2=new Date(y[2],(y[1]-1),y[0])

jQuery UI Datepicker difference in days

I need to calculate the number of weeks difference between the chosen date and the current date. I've tried to calculate with weekNumberPicked - weekNumberCurrent, but if the two dates are in different years, the result is incorrect, so I probably need to get it like daysDifference / 7. How should I implement this with the onSelect action?

You can use the Datepicker's function getDate to get a Date object.
Then just subtract one date from the other (might want to get the absolute value as well) to get the milliseconds in difference, and calculate the difference in days, or weeks.
$('#test').datepicker({
onSelect: function() {
var date = $(this).datepicker('getDate');
var today = new Date();
var dayDiff = Math.ceil((today - date) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
}
});

Since DatePicker getDate() methode returns a javascript Date object, you can do something like :
var myDate = $('.datepicker').datepicker('getDate');
var current = new Date();
var difference = myDate - current;
difference now contains the number of milliseconds between your two dates
, you can easily compute the number of weeks :
var weeks = difference / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24 / 7;

try this code and applied it to your work :D
$("#date_born").datepicker({
onSelect: function () {
var start = $('#date_born').datepicker('getDate');
var end = new Date();
var age_year = Math.floor((end - start)/31536000000);
var age_month = Math.floor(((end - start)% 31536000000)/2628000000);
var age_day = Math.floor((((end - start)% 31536000000) % 2628000000)/86400000);
$('#age').val(age_year +' year ' + age_month + ' month ' + age_day + ' day');
},
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
maxDate: '+0d',
yearRange: '1914:2014',
buttonImageOnly: false,
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true
});
Html Code:
Date <input type="text" name="date_born" id="date_born"/>
Age <input type="text" name="age" id="age" />
