How it works
Frequently asked questions
How is the calendar breakdown (years, months, days) calculated?
Total days are counted as 24-hour periods between the two midnights, while the calendar breakdown walks the real calendar — borrowing days and months exactly the way a calendar does, so leap years and month lengths are handled correctly.
What happens if the end date is before the start date?
Nothing breaks — the difference is shown as a negative value with a note, so you can tell the dates are reversed. Press the "Swap dates" button to flip them and get a positive result.
Are both the start and end dates counted?
The main result counts the days between the dates (exclusive): 1 January to 2 January is 1 day. If you need both endpoints included, the result also shows the inclusive count — just add one extra day.
