They are compared both by their underlying ISO date values and their calendars, so two year-months from different calendars may be considered equal by {{jsxref(\"Temporal/PlainYearMonth/compare\", \"Temporal.PlainYearMonth.compare()\")}} but not by equals(). {{jsxref(\"Temporal/PlainYearMonth/since\", \"Temporal.PlainYearMonth.prototype.since()\")}} : Returns a new {{jsxref(\"Temporal.Duration\")}} object representing the duration from another year-month (in a form convertible by {{jsxref(\"Temporal/PlainYearMonth/from\", \"Temporal.PlainYearMonth.from()\")}}) to this year-month.
