How Date Addition and Subtraction Works

The calculator applies the duration to the base date sequentially — years first, then months, then days — with automatic handling of all calendar edge cases.

Date Addition Formula: Result Date = Base Date + Duration (Years + Months + Days)

Date Subtraction Formula: Result Date = Base Date − Duration (Years + Months + Days)

Step-by-Step Processing Order:

1. Add or subtract the years component first
2. Add or subtract the months component to the result
3. Add or subtract the days component to the result
4. Validate the final date and adjust for any month-end overflows
