Displaying the Date That Is a Month (30 Days) from Today

Article Number:040739

To calculate the date that comes one month after another date, you can use a "Calculated" field and calculate the number of days elapsed since the base date (in this case, 30 days).
This is useful when you need to calculate dates such as a trial end date and a contract expiration date.

In kintone, the values in the date, time, and date and time fields are treated as UNIX time. That means the dates and the times are treated in seconds. Therefore, you need to specify your formula in seconds as well. For example, you need to enter "60" to specify one minute, and "3600" or "60*60" to specify one hour.
