# About This Calculator
The Date Difference Calculator determines the exact time span between two dates. It provides a detailed breakdown of Years, Months, and Days, making it far more useful than simple "Total Days" counters.
Common Use Cases:

- Employment History: Calculate precise tenure for resumes (e.g., "3 Years, 2 Months").
- Project Planning: Determine the duration between a project start and end date.
- Relationship Milestones: Celebrate exact anniversaries.
The calculation respects the Gregorian calendar, automatically handling varying month lengths (28, 30, 31 days) and Leap Years (Feb 29).

- Click **Show Difference**.
- See the result in a readable "Years, Months, Days" format.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this include the end date?+
No, this calculator follows the standard convention of calculating the duration *between* dates. For example, from Jan 1st to Jan 2nd is 1 day. If you want to include the last day (inclusive), simply add 1 day to the result.
How does it handle Leap Years?+
The algorithm accounts for leap years automatically. If the period includes a February 29th, it is counted as an extra day in the total duration.
Can I verify my age?+
Yes! Enter your Date of Birth as the Start Date and Today's Date as the End Date to see your exact age.
What if the End Date is before the Start Date?+
The tool automatically swaps dimensions or calculates the absolute difference, so the order doesn't matter for the duration count.
Why is '1 month' sometimes 28 days and sometimes 31?+
A 'month' is not a fixed unit of time like a minute. This tool calculates based on calendar months. If you go from Feb 1 to Mar 1, it's 1 month (28 or 29 days). If you go from Aug 1 to Sep 1, it's 1 month (31 days).
