Frequently asked questions

What is 1 month after January 31?

February has no 31st, so the result is the last day of February: the 29th in a leap year, the 28th otherwise.

What is 1 year after February 29?

The next February 28, because a year later has no 29th unless it is a leap year too.

Does it skip weekends?

No. It counts every calendar day. It does not know public holidays or working days.
