Frequently Asked Questions

Why not just divide total days by 365?

A calendar walk correctly accounts for varying month lengths and leap years, giving an accurate years/months/days breakdown rather than an approximation.

Does it include both the start and end date?

The difference is calculated between the two calendar dates; same-day inputs return zero.
