Amount of months calculation in DataFrame in Python Pandas?

I have DataFrame like below:

df = pd.DataFrame({"ID" : ["1", "2", "3"],
                   "Date" : ["12/11/2020", "12/10/2020", "05/04/2020"]})

You can modify this solution for subtract by scalar d:

df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Date'], dayfirst=True)

d = pd.to_datetime('now')
df['Amount'] = 12 * (d.year - df['Date'].dt.year) + d.month - df['Date'].dt.month

print (df)
  ID       Date  Amount
0  1 2020-11-12       1
1  2 2020-10-12       2
2  3 2020-04-05       8
