The calculator uses the numbers you enter. The calculator subtracts nights away from home from the night limit you set for yourself. The result shows how far the month is over or under the limit. Recovery days after a trip, the trip count, and the time-zone gap sit in the grid and do not change spare nights or the overage. The cost of one trip is optional and does not change the main result. In the first example the result is 2 nights above the night limit you set this month.
The five form fields are nights away, night limit, rest after a trip, trips, and time zones. Night limit means: The monthly night-away limit you set for yourself. The calculator compares it with the nights you enter. In the first example the result is 2 nights above the night limit you set this month. Recovery days means: Days after one trip, then multiplied by the trip count. They appear in the grid and do not change spare nights or the overage. Time zones means: The average hour gap. It appears in the grid and is not in the night limit.
The second example gives 2 nights below the night limit you set this month. The third example gives 6 nights above the night limit you set this month. The calculator uses the numbers you enter: 4 nights away versus the 2 nights you set. The result is 2 nights above the night limit you set this month.
The calculator does not book travel and does not compute per diems. The cost of one trip is optional and does not change the main result.
