Frequently Asked Questions

💡

Pro Tips

1

Business days vs calendar days matter for deadlines. A 30-day contract deadline is 30 calendar days, but a "30 business day" deadline is closer to 6 weeks.

2

Leap years (every 4 years, except century years not divisible by 400) add 1 day. Long-term date calculations that span February should account for this.

3

For countdown timers to important dates, include time zones — "Friday midnight" in New York is 3 hours different from California.

4

Age in years alone hides important milestones. "30 years, 6 months" is much more precise than "30 years old" for medical or legal calculations that need exact age.
