NSInteger month = [[[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components: NSCalendarUnitMonth
                                                   fromDate: yourFirstDate
                                                     toDate: yourSecondDate
                                                    options: 0] month];

Look at NSCalendars components:fromDate:toDate:options method. It allows you to subtract dates and then extract the months property value
