Is the end date included?

The calculator counts day boundaries between dates. For example, Jan 1 to Jan 2 is 1 calendar day.

Can I calculate reverse date differences?

Yes. If the end date is before the start date, the result is shown as a negative day difference.

No. It only excludes weekends. Holiday calendars can be added later for country-specific business-day logic.
