Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Expiry Date Calculator? expand_more
An Expiry Date Calculator computes the exact date when a product will expire by adding a shelf life duration to a start date. It shows the freshness status (Fresh, Warning, or Expired) and calculates remaining time in multiple units.
How does the warning period work? expand_more
When you enable the Set Warning Period option, you can specify a number of days before expiry to trigger a warning. If the current date falls within that warning window, the status changes from Fresh to Warning, alerting you to use the product soon.
What do the product presets do? expand_more
Product presets are quick-fill buttons for common items like Milk (7 days), Bread (5 days), Fresh Meat (3 days), and others. Clicking a preset automatically fills in the shelf life duration and unit so you only need to set the start date.
Can I calculate expiry for items measured in months or years? expand_more
Yes. The tool supports five duration units: Days, Weeks, Months, Years, and Hours. For medications or canned goods with long shelf lives, simply select Months or Years from the dropdown.
Is my data private? expand_more
Yes. All calculations happen locally in your browser using JavaScript. No product data or dates are transmitted to any server. The tool works fully offline once loaded.
