For most contract deadlines or general Korean Civil Act counting, start with Exclude Day One. Switch to Include Day One only when the first day itself must count, such as a period that begins at 0:00 or a rule that expressly includes the starting day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this calculate the interval between two dates?

The calculator follows the calendar-based approach commonly associated with Article 160 of the Korean Civil Act. It shows both the counted days and the interval broken down into years, months, and days.

What is the difference between including and excluding day one?

This setting decides whether the first day is counted as part of the period. Under the Korean Civil Act, excluding the first day is the default baseline, but inclusion can still matter where the period starts at midnight or the parties agreed otherwise.

How does it handle months with different lengths?

If the target month has no matching calendar day, the calculator follows the Korean Civil Act approach of using the last day of that month.

Korean Civil Act Principles

Day one is generally excluded

Under Article 157 of the Korean Civil Act, periods stated in days, weeks, months, or years generally start from the next day. Day-one inclusion can still apply in narrower situations, such as a period that begins at 0:00.

The period ends at the close of the last day

Article 159 treats the period as expiring when the last day ends. Weeks, months, and years are counted on a calendar basis under Article 160.

Saturday or a public holiday can extend the deadline

Under Article 161, if the last day falls on a Saturday or Korean public holiday, the deadline can move to the next business day.

How to Use This Calculator

Counted Days vs. Calendar Breakdown

The calculator shows both the counted days and the calendar breakdown so you can compare a simple day count with a calendar-based legal interval.

Reverse Order Is Handled Automatically

If you enter the later date first, the calculator automatically reorders the dates so the interval can still be measured correctly.
