FAQ
Q: How are months calculated?
A: Month calculations account for varying month lengths (28-31 days). The calculator uses calendar months, so January 15 to February 15 equals exactly 1 month, regardless of whether it spans 31 or 28 days.
Q: Does it account for leap years?
A: Yes, the calculator automatically accounts for leap years when calculating differences. February in leap years has 29 days, which is correctly handled in all calculations.
Q: Can I calculate business days only?
A: Currently this calculator shows calendar days. For business days (excluding weekends and holidays), you would need to manually adjust the result based on your specific calendar.
