Common questions

How are partial months counted?

The tool counts whole calendar months first, then reports the leftover days separately, so a span of two months and ten days is shown that way.

Does it handle months of different lengths?

Yes, it walks the actual calendar, so the difference between February and March is counted correctly even with leap years.
