  • Accurate calendar navigation across years

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the calculator handle leap years?

The calculator automatically accounts for leap years (February 29) when adding or subtracting time. It uses JavaScript's native Date object which correctly implements leap year rules.

What happens when I add months to a date like January 31?

When adding months results in an invalid date (like Feb 31), the calculator automatically adjusts to the last valid day of that month (Feb 28 or 29). For example, Jan 31 + 1 month = Feb 28/29.

Can I calculate dates in the past?

Yes! You can either use the "Subtract Time" option, or simply enter a past date in the "From Date" field when calculating date differences. The calculator works with any valid date.

What's the difference between weeks and days?

Both weeks and days can be used interchangeably (1 week = 7 days). The separate fields are provided for convenience - use whatever unit makes most sense for your calculation.

Is the calculation accurate for business days vs calendar days?

This calculator works with calendar days. It counts every day including weekends and holidays. For business day calculations, you'll need to manually exclude weekends and holidays.
