Frink also makes it easy to work with date/time values referenced to any arbitrary epoch. For example, to find the number of nanoseconds since the UNIX epoch:
<syntaxhighlight lang="frink">epoch = # 1970 UTC #
now[] - epoch -> ns
</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}
<pre>
1665439770353000000

Or to add a number of seconds to the UNIX epoch and find the result in Japan's timezone:
<syntaxhighlight lang="frink">epoch = # 1970 UTC #
epoch + 2 billion seconds -> Japan
</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}

Leap seconds are usually not taken into account in these calculations, but they can be easily using [https://frinklang.org/#LeapSeconds Frink's leap-second functions.]
