Frequently asked questions

Does it handle durations under a day?

Yes — the days figure is simply 0 and the totals show the exact hours and minutes between the two times.

Are time zones involved?

No. Both date-times are treated as readings on the same clock. To compare times in different zones, convert one with the Time Zone Converter first.
