In order to calculate the difference you have to put the + operator,

that way typescript converts the dates to numbers.

+new Date()- +new Date("2013-02-20T12:01:04.753Z")

From there you can make a formula to convert the difference to minutes or hours.

Use the getTime method to get the time in total milliseconds since 1970-01-01  and subtract those   var time   new Date   getTime   - new Date  2013-02-20T12 01 04 753Z   getTime

It doesn t work because Date - Date relies on exactly the kind of type coercion TypeScript is designed to prevent   There is a workaround this using the   prefix   var t   Date now   -   new Date  2013-02-20T12 01 04 753Z      Or  if you prefer not to use Date now     var t     new Date    -   new Date  2013-02-20T12 01 04 753Z       See discussion here   Or see Siddharth Singh s answer  below  for a more elegant solution using valueOf

This is how it should be done in typescript    new Date    valueOf   -  new Date  2013-02-20T12 01 04 753Z    valueOf     Better readability         var eventStartTime   new Date event startTime         var eventEndTime   new Date event endTime         var duration   eventEndTime valueOf   - eventStartTime valueOf
