Date result is off by one day
This may be a timezone issue. The tool uses the browser's local timezone. Dates near midnight may shift in UTC.
Adding months gives an unexpected end date
Adding a month to January 31 gives February 28/29 (the last day of the month), which is the standard behaviour.
Expert FAQ
Is the end date included in the difference calculation?
By default, the difference is calculated as the total time elapsed between the two dates (exclusive of the start date itself).
Does this account for leap years?
Yes, the calculator uses the standard Gregorian calendar logic which correctly accounts for February 29th in leap years.
Can I calculate negative differences?
The tool shows the absolute difference between two dates and indicates whether the second date is in the past or future relative to the first.
