Frequently Asked Questions
The calculator uses exact Gregorian calendar arithmetic with month borrowing. When subtracting dates, if the end day is less than the start day, it borrows the exact number of days in the preceding month relative to the target date. This accurately accounts for months with 28, 29, 30, or 31 days.
Business Day mode iterates through each calendar day in the date range. It skips days matching your selected weekend pattern (e.g., Saturday & Sunday, Friday & Saturday, or custom selected days) and excludes any user-specified holiday dates to determine exact working days and business hours.
When adding or subtracting months to a date like January 31st, standard month incrementing would overflow into March. Our algorithm performs month-end clamping, automatically clamping the date to the last valid day of February (Feb 28 or Feb 29 in leap years).
Yes. The engine uses Gregorian leap year rules (years divisible by 4, except century years unless divisible by 400). It automatically includes February 29th whenever a leap day falls inside your calculated date range.
No. 100% of date math and time arithmetic runs locally in your web browser. Toolzeno does not collect, record, or transmit your calculated dates or custom holiday lists.
