Assumptions
Date-only calculations use the proleptic Gregorian calendar and ignore clock time. Elapsed-time calculations and selected-zone conversions state their time basis separately.
Limitations
- Supported years are 100–9999.
- Historical dates are treated using the proleptic Gregorian calendar, not local adoption history.
Frequently asked questions
What date basis does the Day of the Week Calculator use?
The result uses calendar dates unless the page explicitly describes elapsed time or a selected time zone.
Can daylight-saving time change calendar-day totals?
No. Date-only calculations use normalized UTC day numbers. Elapsed timestamp and time-zone calculations are explicitly handled separately.
Are entered dates stored?
No. Calculations run in your browser and the entered dates are not saved or sent anywhere.
