"What is the date 100 days from now?" "How many days since I was born?" Usage of Date Calculation [With Tool]

Can you answer "100 days from today" immediately?

"The deadline for this project is 45 days from today (February 1st)." "When is the 1000th day anniversary since we started dating?" "How many days until the Golden Week holidays in 2025?"

In daily life and work, there are surprisingly many situations where such "calculations regarding dates" are necessary. Counting by turning over calendars one by one and counting on fingers is tough, and due to the existence of leap years (February 29th) and different number of days depending on the month (30 days or 31 days), mental arithmetic tends to make calculation measurement errors.

Convenient at such times is the "Date Calculation" tool which can calculate instantly in the browser. This time, we introduce concrete scenes where this tool is useful from three perspectives: Business, Life Events, and Entertainment.

Date & Days CalculatorCalculate date differences, day counts, and future dates

1. Usage in Business Scenes

Management of "Deadlines" is life in work.

Calculation of Contracts and Deadlines

In cases such as "The end date of the warranty period is 90 days after the contract date", not grasping the exact date accurately causes trouble. Especially in contracts (such as promissory note sites) that say "30 days from counting from Month X Day X" rather than a break such as "the end of March", the tool demonstrates its power.

Man-hour Management and Milestones

When drawing a schedule before the start of a project, you estimate man-hours such as "20 days for development, 10 days for testing". "Start date (4/1) + 20 days = 4/21 Development completed" "4/21 + 10 days = 5/1 Testing completed" Like this, the date calculation tool is indispensable when finalizing the schedule in a cumulative manner.

[Column] Difference between Business Days and Calendar Days In business, there are cases calculated by "days excluding weekends and holidays (Business Days)" and cases calculated by "days including weekends and holidays (Calendar Days)". When laws or contracts simply say "within XX days", it generally refers to Calendar Days (days according to the calendar). On the other hand, internal schedules etc. are often considered in business days. This tool supports calculation in "Calendar Days".

2. Usage in Life Events and Traditional Events

"Number of days" is deeply involved in family events and traditional rituals.

Baby Events

There are many events where the number of days since birth becomes important.

Oshichiya (7th Night): 7th day after birth. Day to hold naming ceremony.
Omiyamairi (Shrine Visit): Often said to be 31st day after birth for boys, 32nd day for girls.
Okuizome (100th Day Celebration): 100th day after birth. Ritual wishing "not to be troubled with food for a lifetime".
Issho Mochi (1st Birthday): 365th day after birth (First birthday).

Knowing "How many days has my child been born today?" also becomes a trigger to reaffirm the joy of growth.

Calculation of Buddhist Memorial Services

Memorial services such as "49th Day", "1st Anniversary", "3rd Anniversary" are held after the deceased passes away.

49th Day: 49th day including the date of death.
1st Anniversary: Full 1st year (Date of death of the following year).
3rd Anniversary: Full 2nd year (Date of death 2 years after death). *Note that it is not "3 years later"!
7th Anniversary: Full 6th year.

Like this, counting of memorial services is unique (derived from traditional Japanese age system). If you calculate "730 days after (2 years after) 2020/XX/XX" with the tool, you can avoid mistaking the date of the 3rd anniversary.

Yakudoshi (Unlucky Years) and Longevity Celebration

Kanreki (60th Birthday): Full 60 years old (61 years old by traditional count). Day when the ten stems and twelve branches circulate and return to the original calendar.
Koki: 70 years old.
Kiju: 77 years old.
Beiju: 88 years old.

3. Usage in Entertainment and Fandom Activities (Gen Z / Otaku Culture)

"Anniversary Culture" is becoming common sense now.

"XX Days Since I Started Following"

"Today is 500 days since I met my fave!" Do you see people writing since 2023.05.20 on SNS profiles? Counting "number of days since started following" is one of the statuses proving the depth of love. It has become a culture to post celebratory posts with hashtags at milestones such as 100 days, 500 days, 1000 days.

Countdown to Concert / Event

"How many days until the next live?" By accurately grasping the number of days, motivation for preparation such as diet, savings, making fans (uchiwa) rises. Preparation progresses better thinking "There are only 21 days left" than thinking "There are 3 weeks left".

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. What are "Inclusion of First Day" and "Exclusion of First Day"?

These are words that often appear in period calculation of laws and contracts.

Exclusion of First Day (Principle): Thinking of "1st day counting from tomorrow". In Civil Code, this is the principle. In case of "1 week from today", the next day becomes the starting date.
Inclusion of First Day: Thinking of "Today is the 1st day". Age calculation (getting older on birthday) and periods starting from 0:00 am fall under this. This tool calculates setting "the first day as 0th day (base date)". In other words, "tomorrow" becomes "1 day later".

Q. Are leap years (February 29th) considered?

Yes, they are fully considered. For example, "1 day later" of February 28th in a leap year is calculated accurately as February 29th, and "2 days later" as March 1st.

Q. What happens to calculation of "1 month later"? (1 month after January 31st?)

This is a difficult problem different from "30 days later" or "31 days later". In principle of Civil Code, 1 month after January 31st becomes "the last day of February".

February 28th in normal year
February 29th in leap year When using the "Month Calculation" function of this tool, it calculates the optimal date according to the calendar.
