Duration between two dates in days, hours, minutes and seconds.

## What it does

Measure the gap between two moments without counting on your fingers. The calculator shows the full breakdown, total hours and weeks, and handles dates in either order with a clear sign.

## How to use

1. Pick the start and end date.
2. Read the breakdown or total units.
3. Copy any value with its button.

## FAQ

### How is daylight saving handled?

The inputs are local date-times, so the elapsed duration follows the browser's timezone rules.

### Can I get a negative result?

Yes. If the end is before the start, the human duration is shown with a minus sign.

### Does it count business days?

No. It reports calendar duration; business-day counting depends on holidays and locale.
