Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the date increment calculation?

The tool provides highly accurate date calculations using JavaScript's built-in Date object, which handles leap years, month boundaries, and year transitions correctly. The calculations are based on the Gregorian calendar and account for leap years automatically. For critical applications, always verify important dates with additional sources.

Can I use different date formats?

Yes! The tool supports multiple date formats including ISO (YYYY-MM-DD), US (MM/DD/YYYY), EU (DD/MM/YYYY), and full date format (Month DD, YYYY). You can select your preferred format from the dropdown menu, and the tool will parse and display dates accordingly.

How does the tool handle leap years?

The tool automatically detects leap years and handles February 29th correctly. When adding months or years to dates, it properly accounts for leap years. For example, adding 1 year to February 29, 2024 (leap year) will result in February 28, 2025 (non-leap year).

Can I add multiple time units at once?

Absolutely! You can add days, weeks, months, and years simultaneously. For example, you can add 2 months, 15 days, and 1 year to a date all at once. The tool will calculate the final result and provide a detailed breakdown of the total increment applied.

What happens when I add months to a date that doesn't exist in the target month?

The tool handles month overflow intelligently. For example, adding 1 month to January 31st will result in February 28th (or 29th in a leap year), which is the last day of February. This follows standard date arithmetic conventions used in most calendar systems.

Is my data secure and private?

Yes! All calculations are performed locally in your browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to external servers, ensuring complete privacy and security. Your dates and calculations remain on your device at all times.
