How to Calculate Weeks Between Dates

The number of weeks between two dates is found by dividing the total number of days by 7. If the result isn't a whole number, you'll have a remainder of 1–6 extra days.

Method:

  1. Count the total calendar days between the start and end date (inclusive or exclusive depending on your purpose)
  2. Divide by 7 to get full weeks
  3. The remainder is the extra days beyond full weeks

Example: From January 1 to March 31 = 89 days = 12 weeks and 5 days.

The Gregorian calendar has a fixed relationship: 1 year = 52 weeks + 1 day (365 days), or 52 weeks + 2 days in a leap year (366 days). This is why your birthday falls one day later each year (or two days after a leap year).

Weeks in Pregnancy, Training, and Planning

Weeks are the standard unit for tracking progress in several time-sensitive contexts:

Pregnancy: Counted from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP). Full term = 40 weeks. Preterm = before 37 weeks. Post-term = after 42 weeks.

Running training blocks: Training is typically structured in 3–4 week mesocycles, where weeks 1–3 progressively increase load and week 4 is a recovery (deload) week. A typical marathon build: 16–20 weeks. A 5K build: 6–10 weeks.

Fiscal/financial planning: The ISO week numbering system (ISO 8601) numbers weeks 1–52 (or 53 in some years), with Week 1 starting on the Monday of the week containing the year's first Thursday.
