Best Answer

This timeline is what you are after:

To quote some specific dates:

1829
July:
Thursday, 23rd: The wedding; Bertha is revealed; Jane runs away in the night
Friday, 24th: Early in the morning, Jane boards the coach
Sunday, 26th: Jane arrives at Whitcross, spends the night in the heath

So she leaves on the 23rd July, 1829

1830
June:
Thursday, 3rd: Jane arrives at the Rochester arms, goes to Thornfield, returns to the inn and hears what has happened; before dark she arrives at Ferndean and reunites with Mr. Rochester.

So she returns on 3rd June, 1830

So to answer your question:

It is 316 days from the start date to the end date, end date included
Or 10 months, 12 days including the end date

Note:
I've taken these details from the book, not the movie - I am logically assuming, even if the movie isn't explicit, it is following the same timeline.
