Assumptions and limitations

  • Civil dates use the proleptic Gregorian calendar from year 0001 through 9999. A selected date represents that calendar day, without a birth time or time zone.
  • Calendar-day arithmetic is independent of daylight-saving clock changes. Weekends and holidays remain included.
  • A month selected as a duration is fixed at 30.4375 days and a year at 365.25 days. These are duration approximations rather than counting actual month boundaries.
  • Calculated dates display the UTC calendar day containing the derived timestamp. Fractional-day offsets can contain a time of day that is not shown in this date-only interface.
  • The reference date initially uses today in the device’s local calendar and is editable. Results below a day are fixed-duration equivalents of whole calendar dates, not elapsed clock time since an entered birth hour.

Common questions

Does this tool skip weekends and holidays?

It counts calendar days. Weekends and holidays are included; a business-day calendar is a different model.

Are month and year results calendar anniversaries?

A month selected as a duration is fixed at 30.4375 days and a year at 365.25 days. These are duration approximations rather than counting actual month boundaries.

References

Bookify accepts birth and reference dates on the same calendar day as a zero-day span while rejecting a reference date before birth.
