Date Calculator
Calculate date differences, add or subtract time periods, and determine ages with precision
What is Date Calculation?
Date calculation involves performing arithmetic operations on dates and times, such as finding the difference between two dates, adding or subtracting time periods, counting working days, and calculating ages or durations.
Our Date Calculator supports various operations including date arithmetic, business day calculations, and time duration analysis with flexible input formats and comprehensive output.

Programming Examples
📄JavaScript
// Calculate date difference const date1 = new Date('2024-01-01'); const date2 = new Date('2024-12-31'); const diffTime = Math.abs(date2 - date1); const diffDays = Math.ceil(diffTime / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)); console.log(diffDays + ' days'); // 366 days // Add days to date const today = new Date(); const futureDate = new Date(today); futureDate.setDate(today.getDate() + 30); console.log('30 days from now:', futureDate.toISOString()); // Calculate working days function countWorkingDays(startDate, endDate) { let count = 0; const current = new Date(startDate); while (current <= endDate) { const dayOfWeek = current.getDay(); if (dayOfWeek !== 0 && dayOfWeek !== 6) count++; current.setDate(current.getDate() + 1); } return count; }
🐍Python
from datetime import datetime, timedelta import pandas as pd # Calculate date difference date1 = datetime(2024, 1, 1) date2 = datetime(2024, 12, 31) diff = date2 - date1 print(f"Difference: {diff.days} days") # Add/subtract time today = datetime.now() future_date = today + timedelta(days=30, weeks=2) past_date = today - timedelta(months=6) # Using relativedelta for months # Calculate working days using pandas def count_business_days(start_date, end_date): return pd.bdate_range(start_date, end_date).size # Age calculation birth_date = datetime(1990, 5, 15) age = datetime.now() - birth_date print(f"Age in days: {age.days}") print(f"Age in years: {age.days // 365.25:.1f}")
☕Java
import java.time.*; import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit; // Calculate date difference LocalDate date1 = LocalDate.of(2024, 1, 1); LocalDate date2 = LocalDate.of(2024, 12, 31); long daysBetween = ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(date1, date2); System.out.println("Days between: " + daysBetween); // Add/subtract time LocalDate today = LocalDate.now(); LocalDate futureDate = today.plusDays(30).plusMonths(2); LocalDate pastDate = today.minusYears(1); // Calculate working days public static long countWorkingDays(LocalDate start, LocalDate end) { return start.datesUntil(end.plusDays(1)) .filter(date -> date.getDayOfWeek().getValue() < 6) .count(); } // Period calculation Period period = Period.between(date1, date2); System.out.println(period.getYears() + " years, " + period.getMonths() + " months, " + period.getDays() + " days");
🔵Go

Tips & Best Practices
🗓️ Date Format Consistency
Use ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD) for unambiguous date representation. This format is internationally recognized and prevents confusion.
🌍 Timezone Awareness
Be aware of timezone differences when calculating dates across different regions. Consider using UTC for consistent calculations.
📊 Business Logic
Consider business rules like holidays, fiscal years, and working days when performing calculations for business applications.
🔄 Leap Years
Account for leap years in long-term calculations. Modern date libraries handle this automatically, but be aware when doing manual calculations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the date calculations?
Our calculations are highly accurate and account for leap years, varying month lengths, and other calendar complexities. We use standard date libraries for precision.
What about daylight saving time?
Date calculations are performed in the local timezone by default. For precise time calculations across DST boundaries, specify UTC dates or use timezone-aware tools.
Can I calculate dates before 1970?
Yes, our calculator supports historical dates. However, be aware of calendar changes (like the Gregorian calendar adoption) that might affect very old dates.
How are working days calculated?
Working days exclude weekends (Saturday and Sunday). The calculator doesn't account for public holidays as these vary by country and region.
