How Date Calculations Work

Date differences are calculated using the Gregorian calendar, accounting for leap years and varying month lengths.

Days Between = End Date − Start Date (in milliseconds ÷ 86,400,000)
Weeks Between = Days Between ÷ 7
Months Between = (End Year − Start Year) × 12 + (End Month − Start Month)
Date + N Days = JavaScript Date arithmetic (handles month/year rollovers automatically)

All calculations account for leap years. A leap year occurs every 4 years (divisible by 4), except century years not divisible by 400.
