Frequently asked questions
What date basis does the Hours 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.
