How it works

Two steps, no account

1

Enter both date & time pairs

Start and end can be any order in the calendar — the duration is measured as an absolute span either way.

2

Read the breakdown

A years/months/days/hours breakdown, plus how many of the days in between were weekdays versus weekend days.

FAQ

Common questions

What counts as a "business day"?
Any calendar day that isn't a Saturday or Sunday — this doesn't account for public holidays, since those vary by country and region.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser with plain JavaScript — nothing is transmitted, logged, or stored.
What if the end date is before the start date?
The years/months/days/hours breakdown is calculated directly from end minus start, so it can show negative values in that case — enter the earlier date as "Start" for a normal positive result.
