Date & Time

Ages, durations, work hours and time zone conversions.

Ages, durations, work hours and time zone conversions. Date arithmetic looks trivial and is not — months have different lengths, years occasionally have 366 days, and much of the world shifts its clocks twice a year.

These calculators handle those cases explicitly rather than approximating, which is why the answers sometimes differ from a quick mental estimate.

What these calculators have in common

Assumptions worth knowing before you rely on any result here.

A month has no fixed length

Adding one month to 31 January has no single correct answer, and durations quoted in months are approximations unless the exact dates are given. Where precision matters, count days.

Leap years are counted, not averaged

A year is 365 days except when it is 366, and the rule skips century years not divisible by 400. These calculators walk the actual calendar rather than multiplying by 365.25, which is why totals can differ slightly from other tools.

Daylight saving breaks naive hour arithmetic

Two days a year are 23 or 25 hours long in regions that observe it. A shift spanning the changeover is not the length the clock suggests, and a meeting time converted without accounting for it can land an hour out.
