Frequently Asked Questions

How does the calculator handle leap years?

The calculator automatically accounts for leap years when subtracting time periods. February 29th is properly handled when subtracting years.

What happens when subtracting months results in an invalid date?

If subtracting months results in a date that doesn't exist (like April 31st), the calculator will roll over to the last valid day of the previous month.

Does time subtraction account for daylight saving time?

No, time calculations are performed in UTC to avoid DST complications. For precise local time calculations across DST boundaries, consider timezone-specific tools.
