Our Date/Time Calculator is a free online tool that calculates dates and date intervals and allows:
- To explore the date/time properties - how many weeks, days, and hours passed since the date/time or how much time is left until it.
- To calculate the time difference between two dates.
- To add or subtract a time interval to a given date/time.
How to Use
To calculate the difference between two dates and/or times of day, enter a date and/or time into the fields above in almost any conventional date/time format.
The default time zone is UTC (Universal Coordinated Time, GMT).
This calculator can be used to add or subtract two time values. The first date can be left blank, which will be taken as "Now" by default. In the second field, you can enter any date, time, or interval addition or subtraction, for example, "+180 days", "-6 month", "+38 weeks", "36 hours", etc.
