Formula Used
The calculator uses this main formula: Days Since = Target Date - January 1 2000.
The date engine counts actual calendar days. It includes leap years automatically. A leap year adds February 29 to the timeline. If the include end day option is selected, one extra day is added when the target date differs from the base date.
Exact time output uses: Total Seconds = Target Timestamp - Base Timestamp. Hours and minutes are then created from that second total.
