How many days before May 15 2027 is January 15, 2027?
Exactly 120. The count starts the day after May 15, 2027 and ends on January 15, 2027, which is the convention almost every contract and deadline uses: the start date is day zero, not day one. Counting the start date as well would give January 16, 2027 instead, one day later, and that single day is the most common mistake in deadline arithmetic.
