📖 Understanding Time Difference Calculations

How It Works

The calculator converts both dates and times to milliseconds since January 1, 1970 (Unix epoch), subtracts the start from the end, and then breaks down the result into human-readable units: weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds.

Accuracy & Precision

Our calculator provides accurate results down to the second. It automatically handles different month lengths, leap years, and accounts for all standard calendar variations. Time is calculated in 24-hour format for precision.

Business Days

Business days are calculated by estimating approximately 5 working days per 7-day week (excluding weekends). This is an approximation and doesn't account for public holidays or specific company working days.

Time Zones

This calculator uses your browser's local timezone for all calculations. For international time differences, ensure you're accounting for timezone offsets in your input times, or use a dedicated timezone calculator.
