Frequently Asked Questions

Are both start and end dates counted?

The result measures elapsed 24-hour date boundaries, so January 1 to January 2 is one day.

Does the order of the dates matter?

No. The calculator returns the absolute difference, regardless of which date comes first.

How are daylight-saving changes handled?

Dates are compared at UTC day boundaries to avoid daylight-saving-hour distortions.
