1. What is the Year To Week Calculator?

The Year To Week Calculator calculates the number of weeks between two dates. This is useful for project planning, pregnancy tracking, academic scheduling, and any scenario where you need to measure time in weeks.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Date1 \) — The starting date
• \( Date2 \) — The ending date
• The difference is calculated in days and then divided by 7 to get weeks

Explanation: The calculator first calculates the exact number of days between the two dates, then converts this to weeks by dividing by 7.

3. Importance of Week Calculation

Details: Calculating time in weeks is often more practical than days or months for many planning purposes. It's commonly used in project management, education, healthcare, and personal planning.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter both dates in the format YYYY-MM-DD. The calculator will automatically compute the number of weeks between them, including fractional weeks if applicable.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does the calculator count calendar weeks or just 7-day periods?
A: This calculates exact 7-day periods between dates, not calendar weeks (Sunday-Saturday).

Q2: How are partial weeks handled?
A: The calculator shows decimal values for partial weeks (e.g., 3.57 weeks for 25 days).

Q3: Does the order of dates matter?
A: Yes, if Date1 is after Date2, the result will be negative, indicating the time passed.

Q4: What's the maximum date range this can handle?
A: The calculator can handle any valid date range supported by PHP's DateTime class.

Q5: Does this account for daylight saving time or leap seconds?
A: No, the calculation is based on complete calendar days, not precise time measurements.
