A leap year adds February 29, so total days are 366 instead of 365. Leap years happen every 4 years — except century years unless they divide by 400 (2000 was a leap year; 1900 was not).

Before you trust the result

Check the inputs that matter most: dates, rates, units, costs, and any optional fields you skipped. A calculator can only work with the numbers entered here, so use the result as a decision check rather than a final answer when money, health, tax, legal, or safety consequences are involved.

If the result feels surprising, change one input at a time and watch which number moves. That usually shows the real lever behind the decision.
