Decide whether you need a duration or a target date
Many date mistakes happen because the user mixes two different problems: counting the gap between dates versus finding the date after adding or subtracting an offset.
- Use Date Calculator when the core question is days between dates or date offsets.
- Use Age Calculator when the answer must be expressed in years, months, and days.
- Use Time Duration or Hours tools when the problem is about clock time rather than calendar days.
