That s should show the difference between the two dates in minutes  Try it in your browser   const currDate   new Date  Tue Feb 13 2018 13 04 58 GMT 0200  EET    const oldDate    new Date  Tue Feb 13 2018 12 00 58 GMT 0200  EET       currDate - oldDate    60000    64

Subtracting 2 Date objects gives you the difference in milliseconds  e g    var diff   Math abs new Date  2011 10 09 12 00   - new Date  2011 10 09 00 00       Math abs is used to be able to use the absolute difference  so new Date  2011 10 09 00 00   - new Date  2011 10 09 12 00   gives the same result      Dividing the result by 1000 gives you the number of seconds  Dividing that by 60 gives you the number of minutes  To round to whole minutes  use Math floor or Math ceil   var minutes   Math floor  diff 1000  60     In this example the result will be 720

This problem is solved easily with moment js  like this example  var difference   mostDate diff minorDate   quot minutes quot    The second parameter can be changed for another parameters  see the moment js documentation  e g    quot days quot    quot hours quot    quot minutes quot   etc  http   momentjs com docs  The CDN for moment js is available here  https   cdnjs com libraries moment js Thanks  EDIT  mostDate and minorDate should be a moment type  EDIT 2  For those who are reading my answer in 2020   momentjs is now a legacy project  If you are still looking for a well-known library to do this job  I would recommend date-fns     How many minutes are between 2 July 2014 12 07 59 and 2 July 2014 12 20 00  var result   differenceInMinutes    new Date 2014  6  2  12  20  0     new Date 2014  6  2  12  7  59        gt  12
