How many days before January 20 2026 is January 13, 2026?
Exactly 7. The count starts the day after January 20, 2026 and ends on January 13, 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 January 14, 2026 instead, one day later, and that single day is the most common mistake in deadline arithmetic.
