Inclusive day count

An inclusive day count includes both the first and the last day of a range, so from the 3rd to the 10th is eight days rather than seven.

Most people count inclusively when they talk about dates, and most contracts do too. Knowing which convention you are using is what prevents the off-by-one error.
