Icons and what they do

Recognize calculator tabs, result actions, calendar controls, themes and the date-verification warning.

Use this visual guide to recognize the controls before selecting them. Green dots mark the starting date and red dots mark the destination date; symbols and labels also distinguish their meaning.

Compact mobile artwork has the same meaning as the wider desktop artwork. Some main tabs currently show linked dates or a placeholder rather than a complete calculator.

Add or subtract dates

Desktop
Mobile

Opens the main calculator. Enter a starting date and whole years, months, weeks or days.

Date range

Desktop
Mobile

Opens the date-range tab. A result link carries both dates into this tab, which currently displays the linked dates. The star marks their connection.

Countdown

Desktop
Mobile

Opens Countdown. The hourglass represents the time from now until a fixed target date and time. Start changes to Stop while a timer is active and returns to Start when the target is reached. Result links prefill the target date.

Timezone conversion

Desktop
Mobile

Opens the timezone converter. Two clocks at different times and a connecting arrow represent the same moment in two zones. Mobile uses one clock.

Age

All screen sizes

Selects the reserved age tab. This main tab is currently a placeholder.

Country information

All screen sizes

Plus result

Desktop
Mobile

Both results are visible together. Subtraction is on the left and addition on the right. Each result has a date-range link and Copy. Only addition has Share and a Countdown link. The Countdown link or switching directly from Add/Subtract to the Countdown tab starts a timer to midnight at the beginning of the latest Add result date in the selected site timezone. The selected date format stays the same when switching tabs. Day-of-year and week-number details also align to the corresponding edge.

Minus result

Desktop
Mobile

Both results are visible together. Subtraction is on the left and addition on the right. Each result has a date-range link and Copy. Only addition has Share and a Countdown link. The Countdown link or switching directly from Add/Subtract to the Countdown tab starts a timer to midnight at the beginning of the latest Add result date in the selected site timezone. The selected date format stays the same when switching tabs. Day-of-year and week-number details also align to the corresponding edge.

Calculator help

All screen sizes

The question mark inside a calendar expands or collapses the explanation and Help link on mobile. The calculation itself stays visible.

Amount arrows

All screen sizes

Enter a start date and whole years, months, weeks or days. Each unit has its own increment: years and months offer 1, 3, 5 and 10; weeks offer 1, 5, 10 and 20; days offer 1, 10, 30 and 90. On mobile, plus is above the number and minus below it. Swipe the one-number wheel to choose an increment, or focus it and use Up/Down, Home or End. Reset restores increment 1 for every unit.

Worked example

Start on October 12, 2026 and enter 10 days. The left result is October 2, ISO week 40; the right result is October 22, ISO week 43. With a Days increment of 30, plus changes 10 to 40 without changing the other units.
