Weeks are days divided by seven. Ninety days is 12.857 weeks, or twelve whole weeks and six days. Both forms are shown, because a decimal week is rarely what anyone actually wants to act on.

How to count weeks between dates

1 Enter both dates. The headline figure is the decimal week count, to three places.
2 Drop to the whole-weeks row when a decimal week is not something you can act on.
3 Whole weeks are floored, never rounded: 97 days shows as 13.857 and 13 whole weeks, never 14.
4 Switch to inclusive counting if both end days belong to the period; it adds one day, so the decimal moves by 0.143.

Pregnancy is where week counting matters most and where the convention is least obvious: gestational age is counted in completed weeks plus days, written as "24w 3d", from the last menstrual period rather than from conception. Project planning uses the opposite convention, rounding partial weeks up because a sprint is a sprint. Neither is wrong; they are counting different things. The week is also the only everyday unit that never changes length, and the consequence of that is less obvious than it sounds: 52 weeks is 364 days, a day short of a year, so any weekly cycle drifts against the calendar by one day a year and two across a leap year. A given weekday therefore falls 53 times in roughly one year in six, which is why weekly payroll has a name for the extra pay period and a rule for taxing it, and why a salary divided by 52 does not quite survive contact with the calendar.

Questions
