What Is TCalc.it?

TCalc.it is a time-aware calculator that understands the difference between a point in time (dates) and an amount of time (durations). Type natural expressions like "2h + 30m" and get instant results.

Your First Calculation

Type an expression into the input field, then press Enter or = to calculate. Try: "2h + 30m". The result appears instantly below the input.

2h + 30mAdd 2 hours and 30 minutes → 2h 30m
1d - 2hSubtract 2 hours from 1 day → 22h
Add & Subtract Durations

Combine time durations using + and - operators. You can mix any units freely.

2h + 30mAdd 2 hours and 30 minutes
1d - 2hSubtract 2 hours from 1 day
3W + 2d + 8hCombine weeks, days, and hours
8h + 8h + 8h + 8h + 8hSum a work week from daily logs
Date Differences

Subtract two dates to find the duration between them, or write a range with "to" (aliases: until, till). Use keywords like NOW, TODAY, TOMORROW, YESTERDAY, or type specific dates.

NOW - 01.01.1990How long since January 1st, 1990 (your age?)
NOW - 01.01.2025Time elapsed since start of 2025
TOMORROW - NOWTime remaining until tomorrow
31.12.2025 - TODAYDays until end of year
14:30 to 16:45Duration between two times
22:00 to 6:00Overnight range wraps to the next day → 8h
Mix Dates & Durations

Add or subtract durations from specific dates to find future or past dates.

NOW + 2dDate/time 2 days from now
01.06.2025 - 3M3 months before June 1st
TODAY + 1Y + 6M1.5 years from today
TODAY + 90dDeadline 90 days from now
Multiply & Divide

Scale durations by multiplying or dividing with numbers.

1h30m * 3Triple a duration (e.g. 3 identical tasks)
8h / 2Split evenly between 2 people
40h / 5Daily average from a weekly total
