How many days before May 16 2025 is April 25, 2025?
Exactly 21. The count starts the day after May 16, 2025 and ends on April 25, 2025, 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 April 26, 2025 instead, one day later, and that single day is the most common mistake in deadline arithmetic.
