Basic Principle

The employment tenure calculator calculates by including the start date and excluding the end date. For example, from January 1, 2024 to January 3, 2024 is calculated as 2 days.

Improved Accuracy

• Precise Month Calculation: Calculates one month as 30.4375 days (365.25÷12) to provide the most accurate month unit conversion.
• Timezone Handling: Explicitly handles local timezones to ensure consistent results across browsers.

Separated Year/Month/Day Calculation

When separating the entire period into years, months, and days, it calculates accurately based on the actual calendar. It considers the actual number of days in each month (28, 30, or 31 days) to provide the most accurate results.
