Duration — Date and time

This directory groups duration tools within Date and time. Date and time questions depend on a clear starting point and a stated convention. This collection separates calendar dates from elapsed durations. Counting dates, converting hours and calculating an age may use similar-looking inputs while answering different questions. Read whether an endpoint is included, whether a duration represents clock time or calendar time, and how the tool treats incomplete information before comparing two results.

Start with these tools

Use unambiguous dates and confirm the intended timezone for work that depends on local clock readings. Calendar months do not all have the same length. A numerical duration does not by itself account for holidays, work schedules or employment rules. Where those matters affect a real decision, check the relevant calendar and agreement separately. Reproduce a result with a simple example spanning a known boundary, such as the end of a month, before using a longer interval. Saved links can help repeat a calculation, but dates relating to personal events may be sensitive. Review a link before sharing it and keep private records in an appropriate place.
