You can use daysbetween function for this requirement.
Below is the sample code which will help you in understanding about this function and you can test in your dev Org. Just create two date fields start date and end date in your accout object as a required field.
01trigger DaysDiff on Account (after insert) {
02 List<contact> conlist = new List<Contact>();
03 for(Account acc:Trigger.new){
04 Integer dayCount = acc.Start_Date__c.daysBetween(acc.End_Date__c);
05 for(integer i=0; i<dayCount; i++){
06 Contact con = new Contact();
07 con.lastName = acc.name;
08 con.accountId = acc.ID;
09 conlist.add(con);
10 }
11 }
12 insert conlist;
13}
Thanks,
