Common mistakes to avoid

  • Reading the result the wrong way round. Confirm the answer is in minutes, not hours, before you rely on it.
  • Truncating instead of rounding, which compounds error across larger hours values.
  • Assuming every month or year is a fixed length. Convert through seconds for an exact result.
