Date difference in months Calculates the month difference between two dates. Subtract start from end and use datetime.timedelta.days to get the day difference. Divide by 30 and use math.ceil() to get the difference in months (rounded up). from math import ceil def months_diff(start, end): return ceil((end - start).days / 30) from datetime import date months_diff(date(2020, 10, 28), date(2020, 11, 25)) # 1
