How to Calculate Employment Tenure

Tenure is the total length of time an employee has worked for an organization. This calculator finds the precise difference between your start date and end date, accounting for leap years and the exact number of days in each month.

Inputs Explained

  • Start Date: The date you officially began your employment.
  • End Date: The date your employment ended, or leave as today to calculate your current tenure.

Example

If your start date was October 26, 2018, and today is October 26, 2023:

  • The calculator will show a tenure of 5 Years, 0 Months, and 0 Days.
  • Your upcoming 6-year work anniversary will be on October 26, 2024.

Why Knowing Your Tenure is Important

  • Benefits Eligibility: Many company benefits, like vacation days, 401k matching, and sabbatical leave, vest after a certain period of service.
  • Promotions and Seniority: Tenure is often a key factor in promotion decisions and layoff seniority.
  • Resume Building: A record of long-term employment is a strong signal to future employers.
