The two calculations

02 / DETAILS
  • ›Days between — Counts whole days from a start date to an end date — good for project spans and deadlines.
  • ›Add / subtract — Shifts a date by a number of days; a negative number moves it backwards in time.
  • ›Leap years — Month lengths and leap years are handled by the calendar math, so February is correct.

Frequently asked questions

03 / FAQ
Is the difference inclusive?

No. It counts whole days from one date to the other, so the start day is not double-counted. An earlier end date gives a negative number.

How do I subtract days?

In the add/subtract mode, enter a negative number of days to move the date backwards.

Does it handle leap years?

Yes. The calendar math accounts for leap years and varying month lengths automatically.

Can I calculate someone’s age?

Use the days-between mode with the birth date and today; divide the result by 365 for an approximate age in years.
