How many months or days can we count for Capital Gains partial exclusion?

We bought our home in 2010. We moved 2/16/2017 for work. We signed a contract to sell our home finally on 8/31/2021. Does the day we sign the contract count as the end date or does the day it closes? I am trying to figure out if we count from 09/2016-2/2017 or do we only count to January since February was a partial month. Or cause it won't close to maybe October we count start from 10/2016. I am trying to figure out if we will owe capital gains or not. Thanks.
