How to Use the Months Calculator
Using the Months Calculator is a straightforward process, whether you're looking to add or subtract months from a date, or calculate the total number of months between two dates. Here's a detailed guide on how to navigate and use this tool:
- Step 1
Select the Desired Operation At the top section of the calculator, you will find the ⚙️ Operation Type field set. Here, you need to select the type of operation you wish to perform: add months, subtract months, or calculate the months between two dates. For example, if you want to determine the number of months between two dates, choose the 'months between' option, which is often the default selection.
- Step 2
Input Your Dates After selecting your operation type, proceed to fill in the input fields. For 'months between', you'll need to enter a Start Date (the beginning of your time period) and an End Date (the conclusion of that period).
- Step 3
Execute the Calculation
- Click on the 'Calculate' button to obtain your results. The calculator will process your inputs and display the outcome.
- If you need to perform another calculation or adjust your inputs, simply click the 'Clear' button to reset the input fields.
If your task involves adding or subtracting months, first select the appropriate operation (add or subtract). Then, input the Start Date and the number of months you wish to add or subtract in their respective fields.
While there are dedicated calculators specifically designed for calculating months from now (➕ add months) and months ago (➖ subtract months), this Months Calculator provides additional versatility. It allows you to modify the starting date and also offers the functionality to calculate the span of months between two different dates.
