Which browsers are supported?

Does the working days count exclude public holidays?

The working days count excludes weekends (Saturday and Sunday) but does not account for public holidays, which vary by country and year. For an accurate business-day count including holidays, subtract your country's applicable public holidays from the working days figure.

Why does the "years, months, days" breakdown sometimes feel unintuitive?

Month lengths vary (28–31 days), so "3 months" is not always exactly 90 days. The breakdown gives the calendar month count, which is the most natural way to express duration. If you need a precise day count for contractual or legal purposes, use the Total Days figure instead.
