How to use Time Duration Calculator
Calculate elapsed seconds between two offset-qualified instants. Calendar dates use Gregorian rules. Instants require an explicit UTC offset; Unix timestamps use seconds, not milliseconds. Endpoints and timezone choices are shown beside the controls.
- Set ISO timestamp with UTC offset.
- Set End ISO timestamp.
- Run the tool, review the result and its stated limitations, then copy or download if needed.
