Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the time duration calculator?
Our calculator is extremely accurate and handles all edge cases including leap years, different month lengths, daylight saving time transitions, and time zone differences. All calculations are performed using precise JavaScript Date objects.
Can I calculate time across different time zones?
Yes! Our calculator works with any time zone. Simply enter the times in your local time zone, and the calculator will provide accurate duration calculations regardless of time zone differences.
What's the difference between same-day and cross-date calculations?
Same-day calculations are for time periods within a single day (e.g., 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM), while cross-date calculations handle time spans across multiple days (e.g., Monday 8:30 AM to Wednesday 5:30 PM).
Does the calculator handle leap years correctly?
Absolutely! Our calculator automatically accounts for leap years, including the complex rules for century years (divisible by 100 but not 400). February 29th is properly handled in all calculations.
Can I use this calculator for business hours only?
While our current calculator shows total time duration, you can manually calculate business hours by subtracting weekends and non-working hours from the total duration. We're working on adding a dedicated business hours calculator.
Is my data stored or tracked?
No, your privacy is our priority. All calculations are performed locally in your browser. We don't store, track, or transmit any of your input data or calculation results.
Can I use this calculator on my mobile device?
Yes! Our calculator is fully responsive and optimized for mobile devices. The interface automatically adjusts to your screen size, making it easy to use on smartphones and tablets.
What if I need to calculate very large time periods?
Our calculator can handle time periods of any length, from seconds to years. Whether you're calculating a few minutes or several decades, the calculator will provide accurate results.
