Frequently Asked Questions
How is the difference between two dates calculated?
It counts full years, then remaining months, then remaining days between the dates — and also shows the totals in days, weeks, and hours.
Does it include both the start and end dates?
The difference is the span between the two dates. If you need an inclusive count (both endpoints), add one day to the total.
Can I calculate time worked in a shift?
Yes — use the 'between two times' mode. If the end time is earlier than the start (an overnight shift), it correctly rolls over to the next day.
