How to count the weeks between two dates

  1. Count the days between the dates (the start date is not counted, the end date is).
  2. Divide by 7. The whole number is the full weeks; the remainder is the extra days.
  3. For a decimal, keep the division as it is: 100 days ÷ 7 = 14.29 weeks.
\text{weeks} = \frac{\text{days}}{7}, \qquad \text{full weeks} = \left\lfloor \frac{\text{days}}{7} \right\rfloor
Example: January 1 to March 31, 2026

89 days ÷ 7 = 12.71, which is 12 weeks 5 days.
