Frequently Asked Questions
What does DateSince calculate?
DateSince calculates exactly how much time has passed between a starting date and today. Results are shown in years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
Is DateSince accurate?
Yes. DateSince uses modern calendar calculations that account for leap years, different month lengths, and calendar variations to provide accurate elapsed time results.
Why are there more months than years?
Years show completed calendar years, while months represent the total completed months that have passed. For example, three years and one additional month is shown as three years and thirty-seven total months.
Why do weeks and days not match the years exactly?
Weeks and days are displayed as total elapsed units. Since months contain different numbers of days and leap years add an extra day, total weeks are different from simply multiplying years by fifty-two.
