How many days before December 21 2026 is December 14, 2026?
Exactly 7. The count starts the day after December 21, 2026 and ends on December 14, 2026, 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 December 15, 2026 instead, one day later, and that single day is the most common mistake in deadline arithmetic.
