How to use the age calculator
- Pick your date of birth with the date picker (or type it as YYYY-MM-DD).
- Read your age in years, months and days, with totals in weeks, days and hours alongside.
- Turn on “Calculate age on another date” to see how old you were, or will be, on a specific date such as an exam cut-off or a retirement date.
- Copy the summary or the next-birthday line to share it.

How the age is counted
Whole years are counted first: you turn a year older on each anniversary of your birth date. Then whole months are counted from the last birthday, and finally the leftover days. Example: someone born on 15 June 1990 is 36 years, 3 months and 8 days old on 23 September 2026, which is also 13,249 days or 1,892 weeks and 5 days.
When a month is shorter than your birth day, reaching its last day counts as a full month. So a person born on 31 January is one month old on 28 February (or 29 February in a leap year), and one month and one day old on 1 March.
Leap-year birthdays
If you were born on 29 February, the calculator observes your birthday on 28 February in years that have no 29th. That keeps the whole-year count consistent: on 28 February you have completed another full year, and on 1 March you are one year and one day old. Some countries legally treat 1 March as the birthday instead; if that matters for a form or deadline, check the rule that applies to you.
Limits
Ages are counted in calendar days, so hours and minutes of birth are ignored and the hour total is simply days × 24. Dates are interpreted in your own calendar day, without time zones. The tool follows the Gregorian calendar throughout, including for historical dates before it was adopted.
