live_help Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the calculator account for leap years?
Yes, the calculator automatically handles February 29th and adjusts the count for leap years like 2024, 2028, etc.
What does “Include end date” mean?
By default, the difference between two dates doesn’t include the final day (it counts the nights or gaps). If you check this option, the calculator adds 1 day to the total, effectively counting from the start of the first day to the end of the last day.
Can I calculate days into the future?
Yes, you can select any past or future dates. If the end date is before the start date, the tool will still show the absolute duration.
How is “Total Months” calculated?
To provide a consistent result, total months are calculated using the average month length of 30.437 days (365.25 days divided by 12).
