A fortnight is a time unit equal to 14 days or two weeks, commonly used for payroll and scheduling purposes.

Why do months vary in length compared to fortnights?

Months differ from 28 to 31 days depending on the calendar, while a fortnight is a fixed 14-day period, making direct conversion approximate.

Can this tool be used for precise date conversion?

No, conversions provide approximate equivalents useful for planning but not exact calendar matching due to variable month lengths.
