Question 1

Do time zones affect the result?

Accepted Answer

For pure day-difference calculations, correct handling depends on using consistent local or UTC day boundaries. Many tools treat dates as whole-day values to avoid time-zone drift.

Question 2

Are leap years handled?

Accepted Answer

Proper date arithmetic libraries account for leap years and varying month lengths. If the tool uses standard date functions, leap years should be handled correctly.

Question 3

Should I include the start day in the count?

Accepted Answer

Different tools use inclusive or exclusive conventions. Check the tool’s definition for whether the difference counts complete days between dates or includes one endpoint.
