How the result is worked out
The result subtracts the two date-only values at noon UTC, then places checkpoints at fixed planning offsets before the move.
Limitations
Checkpoints are planning prompts. They are not official deadlines and may not match a mover, landlord, school, or authority.
This tool does not decide eligibility, legal obligations, document sufficiency, or official outcomes.
Sources and review
The result is deterministic and uses only the values entered. Open original sources when a planning step depends on a provider or authority.
