Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I add time periods that exceed 24 hours?

Our calculator automatically handles time overflow. When minutes exceed 60, they convert to hours, and hours can exceed 24 for total duration calculations.

2. Can I subtract a larger time from a smaller time?

If you subtract a larger time from a smaller time, the result will be negative, indicating the time deficit. This is useful for tracking overtime or delays.

3. How accurate is the duration calculator?

The duration calculator is accurate to the second and accounts for leap years, different month lengths, and daylight saving time changes.

4. Does the time zone converter account for daylight saving time?

The converter provides standard time zone offsets. For precise DST calculations, check current local time zone rules as they vary by location and date.
