Quick Presets
Auto-Updates
This calculator auto-refreshes every 60 seconds to keep the relative time accurate. Results update automatically when you change the input date.
Methodology and approach
The calculator computes the difference between now and the input date, then formats it as human-readable relative time.
Enter dates in the format shown by this tool. Date-only calculations use calendar dates; date-time fields use local time unless a timezone selector is provided. Timestamp outputs identify their units.
