Formula

Move to the target calendar month; clamp the day to its last valid day.
  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • UTC calendar dates only, not elapsed 30-day blocks. Clamping may make adding and then subtracting a month nonreversible.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Starting date: 2024-01-31
  • Months to add or subtract: 1

31 January 2024 plus one calendar month becomes 29 February 2024.
