Why months need an average
Months are the messiest time unit because they are not all the same length: February has 28 or 29 days, and the rest have 30 or 31. To convert consistently, this tool uses the average Gregorian month, 30.436875 days, which is one twelfth of the average year.
That means 90 days comes out as 2.96 months here, but on a real calendar 90 days from January 1 lands on April 1 — very close to three months. The average is accurate over a full year and only drifts by a day or two for short spans.
How it’s calculated
Months = days / 30.436875, where the average month is 365.2425 / 12 = 30.436875 days (the Gregorian mean, accounting for leap years). Reverse mode multiplies months by 30.436875. Weeks divide days by 7.
This uses an average-length month. For an exact result between two calendar dates — where month length matters — use a date-difference tool instead.

- Expecting an exact calendar answer — 90 days is 2.96 average months but exactly 3 months from many start dates.
- Assuming 6 months is 180 days; with the average month it is about 182.6 days.
