How many days before August 21 2026 is May 23, 2026?
Exactly 90. The count starts the day after August 21, 2026 and ends on May 23, 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 May 24, 2026 instead, one day later, and that single day is the most common mistake in deadline arithmetic.
