Frequently Asked Questions

How do you add days to a date?

To add days to a date, simply count forward from the starting date. The calculator automatically handles month and year boundaries, including leap years. For example: January 25 + 10 days = February 4.

How does the calculator handle leap years?

The calculator automatically accounts for leap years when performing date calculations. It recognizes that February has 29 days in leap years (every 4 years, except century years not divisible by 400) and adjusts calculations accordingly.

What happens when adding months to month-end dates?

When adding months to dates like January 31st, the calculator intelligently adjusts to the last day of the target month if the exact day doesn't exist. For example: January 31 + 1 month = February 28 (or 29 in leap years).
