Funnily enough I've just written an article on this subject - see http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/b942f9/6771/ The following will work whatever the starting and final days in the month are: int months = today.MonthsBetween(FinalDateOfPayment);

Try this: int differenceInMonths = Math.Abs(12 * (FinalDayOfPayment.Year - today.Year) + FinalDayOfPayment.Month - Today.Month) //will work if the Final Date is lesser than today too and any year HTH

just for information another way: DateTime today = System.DateTime.Today; DateTime FinalDayOfPayment= Convert.ToDateTime(1/12/2011); TimeSpan noOfDays = today - FinalDayOfPayment; Console.WriteLine(System.Data.Linq.SqlClient.SqlMethods.DateDiffMonth(FinalDayOfPayment today)); Console.ReadLine();
