Time Calculator FAQs

How does the Time Calculator handle durations that cross midnight?

When calculating the **duration between two times**, if the **end time** is earlier than the **start time**, the **Time Calculator** automatically assumes the duration spans into the next day, accurately calculating the total **time elapsed** across the midnight boundary.

What is the most precise unit for duration?

The most precise measure of duration is **seconds**. However, for professional use in a **schedule planner**, the **Time Calculator** provides the duration in total hours and the clear H:M:S format, which is easier to log and manage.

Can I subtract more hours than the base time?

Yes. When you choose to **subtract time**, the **Time Calculator** wraps the result backwards across the 24-hour boundary, providing the correct time on the previous day. For example, subtracting 2 hours from 1:00 AM results in 11:00 PM (on the previous day).
