Frequently Asked Questions
Does the calculation handle month-end dates?
Yes—we adjust overflow to the last valid day of the target month (e.g., Jan 31 → Jul 31).
Is six months the same as 182 days?
Not exactly—day counts vary. This tool uses true calendar months, which is industry standard for contracts.
Can I combine this with day offsets?
Run the 6 Month Calculator first, then use Add Days Calculator if extra adjustments are needed.
Does time of day matter?
We preserve the time portion. If you enter a full timestamp, the target keeps the same hour/minute.
