Can either date be in the future?

Yes, go ahead enter future or past dates in either input. The tool will figure out the order of the dates and adjust the output for you.

Can date two be before date one?

Yes, enter the two dates in any order. The text in the output will reflect your choices, and knows automatically the order of the two dates.

Is Midnight AM or PM? Is Noon AM or PM?

By tradition, 12:00 PM is noon, and 12:00 AM is midnight.

Can the tool deal with leap years?

Yes, the date duration calculator can deal with leap years. It uses a library which is aware of leap years, and can add a day whenever your calculation crosses a leap year.

Duration Between Two Dates

This tool is useful when you have two discrete dates where you'd like to know the years, months, and days between. Whether you are counting down, or computing a time in the past, hopefully it helps you see the time that elapsed – or will elapse – between the times you care about.
