Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tool handle leap years?▾
The calculator correctly accounts for leap years. February 29 is included in calculations when the date range spans a leap year, so durations are always accurate.
Can I calculate the difference in business days?▾
Currently the tool calculates calendar days. Business day calculations (excluding weekends and holidays) are not yet supported.
What date formats are supported?▾
The tool uses your browser's native date picker, which displays dates in your locale's format. Internally, all dates are processed as standard date values regardless of display format.
Is there a limit on how far apart dates can be?▾
No practical limit. The tool can calculate differences between dates spanning centuries — useful for historical research or far-future planning.
