How many days before October 28 2026 is October 21, 2026?
Exactly 7. The count starts the day after October 28, 2026 and ends on October 21, 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 22, 2026 instead, one day later, and that single day is the most common mistake in deadline arithmetic.
