I want correct results even if month has 31 days or 30 days.
var startDt = $("input[id=StartDate_" + i + "]").val();
var endDt = $("input[id=EndDate_" + i + "]").val();
var diff = new Date(Date.parse(endDt) - Date.parse(startDt));
var days = ((diff / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24) + 1);
if (SelVal == "Monthly") {
$("#div" + i).html(Math.ceil(days / 30));
}
if (SelVal == "Semi-monthly") {
$("#div" + i).html(Math.ceil(days / 15));
}
I want to calculate difference where is Start Date is 10 April 2019 and End Date is 14 May 2019. I want monthly and semi-monthly. For this example:
Number of months difference would be 1
Semi-monthly difference would be 3 as mid of the month is
counted by date 15 of every month.
For example the billing of any center takes place every 1st and 15th date of the month and I need number of billings between two dates.
Okay try this:
var date1 = new Date("10/31/2019");
var date2 = new Date("12/1/2019");
var timeDiff = Math.abs(date2.getTime() - date1.getTime());
var diffDays = Math.ceil(timeDiff / (1000 * 3600 * 24));
console.log(diffDays)
console.log("months: "+ (Math.floor(diffDays/30)));
console.log("days: "+ (diffDays%30));
have a look to the code snippet
var date1 = new Date("10/31/2019");
var date2 = new Date("12/1/2019");
var timeDiff = Math.abs(date2.getTime() - date1.getTime());
var diffDays = Math.ceil(timeDiff / (1000 * 3600 * 24));
console.log(diffDays)
console.log("months: "+ (Math.floor(diffDays/30)));
console.log("days: "+ (diffDays%30));
I'm creating an application which lets you define events with a time frame. I want to automatically fill in the end date when the user selects or changes the start date. I can't quite figure out, however, how to get the difference between the two times, and then how to create a new end Date using that difference.
In JavaScript, dates can be transformed to the number of milliseconds since the epoc by calling the getTime() method or just using the date in a numeric expression.
So to get the difference, just subtract the two dates.
To create a new date based on the difference, just pass the number of milliseconds in the constructor.
var oldBegin = ...
var oldEnd = ...
var newBegin = ...
var newEnd = new Date(newBegin + oldEnd - oldBegin);
This should just work
EDIT: Fixed bug pointed by #bdukes
EDIT:
For an explanation of the behavior, oldBegin, oldEnd, and newBegin are Date instances. Calling operators + and - will trigger Javascript auto casting and will automatically call the valueOf() prototype method of those objects. It happens that the valueOf() method is implemented in the Date object as a call to getTime().
So basically: date.getTime() === date.valueOf() === (0 + date) === (+date)
JavaScript perfectly supports date difference out of the box
https://jsfiddle.net/b9chris/v5twbe3h/
var msMinute = 60*1000,
msDay = 60*60*24*1000,
a = new Date(2012, 2, 12, 23, 59, 59),
b = new Date("2013 march 12");
console.log(Math.floor((b - a) / msDay) + ' full days between'); // 364
console.log(Math.floor(((b - a) % msDay) / msMinute) + ' full minutes between'); // 0
Now some pitfalls. Try this:
console.log(a - 10); // 1331614798990
console.log(a + 10); // mixed string
So if you have risk of adding a number and Date, convert Date to number directly.
console.log(a.getTime() - 10); // 1331614798990
console.log(a.getTime() + 10); // 1331614799010
My fist example demonstrates the power of Date object but it actually appears to be a time bomb
See JsFiddle DEMO
var date1 = new Date();
var date2 = new Date("2025/07/30 21:59:00");
//Customise date2 for your required future time
showDiff();
function showDiff(date1, date2){
var diff = (date2 - date1)/1000;
diff = Math.abs(Math.floor(diff));
var days = Math.floor(diff/(24*60*60));
var leftSec = diff - days * 24*60*60;
var hrs = Math.floor(leftSec/(60*60));
var leftSec = leftSec - hrs * 60*60;
var min = Math.floor(leftSec/(60));
var leftSec = leftSec - min * 60;
document.getElementById("showTime").innerHTML = "You have " + days + " days " + hrs + " hours " + min + " minutes and " + leftSec + " seconds before death.";
setTimeout(showDiff,1000);
}
for your HTML Code:
<div id="showTime"></div>
If you don't care about the time component, you can use .getDate() and .setDate() to just set the date part.
So to set your end date to 2 weeks after your start date, do something like this:
function GetEndDate(startDate)
{
var endDate = new Date(startDate.getTime());
endDate.setDate(endDate.getDate()+14);
return endDate;
}
To return the difference (in days) between two dates, do this:
function GetDateDiff(startDate, endDate)
{
return endDate.getDate() - startDate.getDate();
}
Finally, let's modify the first function so it can take the value returned by 2nd as a parameter:
function GetEndDate(startDate, days)
{
var endDate = new Date(startDate.getTime());
endDate.setDate(endDate.getDate() + days);
return endDate;
}
Thanks #Vincent Robert, I ended up using your basic example, though it's actually newBegin + oldEnd - oldBegin. Here's the simplified end solution:
// don't update end date if there's already an end date but not an old start date
if (!oldEnd || oldBegin) {
var selectedDateSpan = 1800000; // 30 minutes
if (oldEnd) {
selectedDateSpan = oldEnd - oldBegin;
}
newEnd = new Date(newBegin.getTime() + selectedDateSpan));
}
Depending on your needs, this function will calculate the difference between the 2 days, and return a result in days decimal.
// This one returns a signed decimal. The sign indicates past or future.
this.getDateDiff = function(date1, date2) {
return (date1.getTime() - date2.getTime()) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);
}
// This one always returns a positive decimal. (Suggested by Koen below)
this.getDateDiff = function(date1, date2) {
return Math.abs((date1.getTime() - date2.getTime()) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
}
If using moment.js, there is a simpler solution, which will give you the difference in days in one single line of code.
moment(endDate).diff(moment(beginDate), 'days');

this code fills the duration of study years when you input the start date and end date(qualify accured date) of study and check if the duration less than a year if yes the alert a message
take in mind there are three input elements the first txtFromQualifDate and second txtQualifDate and third txtStudyYears
it will show result of number of years with fraction

If you use Date objects and then use the getTime() function for both dates it will give you their respective times since Jan 1, 1970 in a number value. You can then get the difference between these numbers.
If that doesn't help you out, check out the complete documentation: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_date.asp
var getDaysLeft = function (date1, date2) {
var daysDiffInMilliSec = Math.abs(new Date(date1) - new Date(date2));
var daysLeft = daysDiffInMilliSec / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);
return daysLeft;
};
var date1='2018-05-18';
var date2='2018-05-25';
var dateDiff = getDaysLeft(date1, date2);
console.log(dateDiff);
To get the date difference in milliseconds between two dates:
var diff = Math.abs(date1 - date2);
I'm not sure what you mean by converting the difference back into a date though.
Many answers here are based on a direct subtraction of Date objects like new Date(…) - new Date(…). This is syntactically wrong. Browsers still accept it because of backward compatibility. But modern JS linters will throw at you.
The right way to calculate date differences in milliseconds is new Date(…).getTime() - new Date(…).getTime():
// Time difference between two dates
let diffInMillis = new Date(…).getTime() - new Date(…).getTime()
If you want to calculate the time difference to now, you can just remove the argument from the first Date:
// Time difference between now and some date
let diffInMillis = new Date().getTime() - new Date(…).getTime()
function checkdate() {
var indate = new Date()
indate.setDate(dat)
indate.setMonth(mon - 1)
indate.setFullYear(year)
var one_day = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24
var diff = Math.ceil((indate.getTime() - now.getTime()) / (one_day))
var str = diff + " days are remaining.."
document.getElementById('print').innerHTML = str.fontcolor('blue')
}
THIS IS WHAT I DID ON MY SYSTEM.
var startTime=("08:00:00").split(":");
var endTime=("16:00:00").split(":");
var HoursInMinutes=((parseInt(endTime[0])*60)+parseInt(endTime[1]))-((parseInt(startTime[0])*60)+parseInt(startTime[1]));
console.log(HoursInMinutes/60);
Hope you are all well,
I've been struggling to find a way to display the amount of time that has passed since a specific date in years, months, weeks and days. The closest i have found, is this below but i can quite work out how to get it to display the years and months.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

thanks for the suggestion of the previous post, sadly i have tried that and i can only get it to work the difference between two actual dates, i cant get it to automatically make the end date now so it counts up automatically as time goes on.

I'm not an IT expert so there is probably a better way, but what I have done seems to work. An example can be seen here: Date difference in action
My approach was not to workout the difference in days from the first date but to work out the day position in the 'to date' from the day position in the 'from date'. i.e. on my 60th birthday there had been 15 leap years since I was born, but those days aren't counted. I am 60 years old not 60 years and 15 days.
And just to prove I'm not an IT expert I am unable to post the code but you can view the source code in the example.
BTW I only use chrome / edge so it's not been tested on other platforms.
I am trying to get the difference between two dates and the return the number of weeks and days as the output. I can get the number of weeks but I am struggling to take the decimal and then turn that into the day of the week. var EDC is a input from the user who is selecting the date from a calendar
var EDC = #D1125594448205.getTime();
var CurrentDate = new Date().getTime();
var DifferenceTime=(CurrentDate-EDC)/52;
DifferenceTime=(DifferenceTime/(1000*480*24));
return DifferenceTime;
DifferenceTime is the difference in milliseconds
Divide it by :
the number of milliseconds in a second (1000)
the number of seconds in a minute (60)
the number of minutes in an hour (60)
the number of hour in a day (24)
Will give you the number of day (truncate it and you get the number of days between your dates)
Divide this number of day by 7 (the number of days in a week) and you get the number of weeks
var DifferenceTime=(CurrentDate-EDC);
var nbDays = parseInt(DifferenceTime/ 1000 * (60 * 60 * 24));
var nbWeeks = parseInt(nbDays/7);
Is this what you meant?
var date1 = new Date(1125594448205).getTime();
var date2 = new Date().getTime();
var timeDiff = date2 - date1;
var difDays = Math.floor(timeDiff / (1000 * 3600 * 24));
var difWeeks = Math.floor(difDays / 7);
difDays = difDays - (difWeeks * 7);
alert(difWeeks + ' weeks ' + difDays + ' days');

this code fills the duration of study years when you input the start date and end date(qualify accured date) of study and check if the duration less than a year if yes the alert a message
take in mind there are three input elements the first txtFromQualifDate and second txtQualifDate and third txtStudyYears
it will show result of number of years with fraction
function getStudyYears()
{
if(document.getElementById('txtFromQualifDate').value != '' && document.getElementById('txtQualifDate').value != '')
{
var d1 = document.getElementById('txtFromQualifDate').value;
var d2 = document.getElementById('txtQualifDate').value;
var one_day=1000*60*60*24;
var x = d1.split("/");
var y = d2.split("/");
var date1=new Date(x[2],(x[1]-1),x[0]);
var date2=new Date(y[2],(y[1]-1),y[0])
var dDays = (date2.getTime()-date1.getTime())/one_day;
if(dDays < 365)
{
alert("the date between start study and graduate must not be less than a year !");
document.getElementById('txtQualifDate').value = "";
document.getElementById('txtStudyYears').value = "";
return ;
}
var dMonths = Math.ceil(dDays / 30);
var dYears = Math.floor(dMonths /12) + "." + dMonths % 12;

If you use Date objects and then use the getTime() function for both dates it will give you their respective times since Jan 1, 1970 in a number value. You can then get the difference between these numbers.
If that doesn't help you out, check out the complete documentation: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_date.asp
var getDaysLeft = function (date1, date2) {
var daysDiffInMilliSec = Math.abs(new Date(date1) - new Date(date2));
var daysLeft = daysDiffInMilliSec / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);
return daysLeft;
};
var date1='2018-05-18';
var date2='2018-05-25';
var dateDiff = getDaysLeft(date1, date2);
console.log(dateDiff);
To get the date difference in milliseconds between two dates:
var diff = Math.abs(date1 - date2);
I'm not sure what you mean by converting the difference back into a date though.
Many answers here are based on a direct subtraction of Date objects like new Date(…) - new Date(…). This is syntactically wrong. Browsers still accept it because of backward compatibility. But modern JS linters will throw at you.
The right way to calculate date differences in milliseconds is new Date(…).getTime() - new Date(…).getTime():
// Time difference between two dates
let diffInMillis = new Date(…).getTime() - new Date(…).getTime()
If you want to calculate the time difference to now, you can just remove the argument from the first Date:
// Time difference between now and some date
let diffInMillis = new Date().getTime() - new Date(…).getTime()
function checkdate() {
var indate = new Date()
indate.setDate(dat)
indate.setMonth(mon - 1)
indate.setFullYear(year)
var one_day = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24
var diff = Math.ceil((indate.getTime() - now.getTime()) / (one_day))
var str = diff + " days are remaining.."
document.getElementById('print').innerHTML = str.fontcolor('blue')
}
THIS IS WHAT I DID ON MY SYSTEM.
var startTime=("08:00:00").split(":");
var endTime=("16:00:00").split(":");
var HoursInMinutes=((parseInt(endTime[0])*60)+parseInt(endTime[1]))-((parseInt(startTime[0])*60)+parseInt(startTime[1]));
console.log(HoursInMinutes/60);
