How the calculation works

Take completed clamped calendar years, then anchored calendar months, then the remaining whole calendar days. The as-of date must be on or after the original date. Year/month steps clamp the original day to the last valid day when necessary. This declared calendar convention does not determine statutory age, benefits, contract terms or a pet’s biological age. Dates use the Gregorian calendar in years 0100–9999 and are independent of browser timezone offsets. Calendar days have no daylight-saving duration adjustment. Outputs outside this date range are rejected.

Example

Worked example: Employment Start Date = "2026-01-31"; As-of Date = "2026-03-31". Result: 0 years, 2 months, 0 days.

Practical tip

Use the original length of service date and check any separate rule governing the anniversary or entitlement.
