How many days before October 12 2026 is October 5, 2026?
Exactly 7. The count starts the day after October 12, 2026 and ends on October 5, 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 October 6, 2026 instead, one day later, and that single day is the most common mistake in deadline arithmetic.
