About the months converter
One month (mo) is approximated here as 30.44 days to keep calculations consistent across conversions and timezones.
Why it matters
Months are a handy unit for planning, billing cycles, and roadmaps. Using an average length avoids large jumps caused by variable month lengths.
Typical conversions
- mo → Date: turn months into a rough timestamp from the UNIX epoch
- mo → ms / s / min / h / d / wk: scale to common units
- mo → years / centuries: approximate longer spans
Code snippets

print(f"{days} days")PHP
$months = 6;
$days = $months * 30.44;
echo $days . " days";Common errors
