Understanding Date Calculations

Working Days: Days excluding weekends (Saturday and Sunday). Useful for business planning.

Business Days: Days excluding weekends and holidays. Essential for legal and financial calculations.

Time Unit Conversions

Standard Conversions:

• 1 day = 24 hours = 1,440 minutes = 86,400 seconds
• 1 week = 7 days
• 1 month ≈ 30.44 days (average)
• 1 year = 365.25 days (leap year average)

Important Considerations

• Leap Years: February 29th occurs every 4 years, adding one extra day

• Month Variations: Different months have different numbers of days (28, 30, or 31)

• Time Zones: Calculations are based on the dates selected, not specific times

• Holidays: Business day calculations exclude weekends but may need custom holiday calendars
