Age Calculator

Find your exact age in years, months and days as of today (or any date), see your age in total months, weeks and days, and count down to your next birthday. It also gives the exact chronological age that teachers, clinicians and test administrators need.

How it works

Age is the time elapsed from your date of birth to a target date, broken into whole years, then remaining months, then remaining days — accounting for the differing lengths of each month and for leap years.

Worked example

Born 15 Mar 1990, measured on 23 Jun 2026: that's 36 years, 3 months, 8 days.

How we check this calculator

Date math is tested against the cases that break naive implementations: birthdays on Feb 29 (leap years), month-end births measured on shorter months, and same-day birthdays (which must show exactly N years, 0 months, 0 days). All dates are parsed as local calendar dates — not UTC timestamps — because a timezone offset can silently shift a birthday by one day; that behavior is pinned by explicit test cases.

Frequently asked questions

What is chronological age and how is it calculated?
Chronological age is the exact time from your date of birth to a given date, expressed in years, months and days. It's the figure used for school entry, developmental assessments and standardized testing. Set the 'age at date' field to the test date to get it precisely.
How is age calculated across leap years?
The calculator counts real calendar dates, so February 29ths and varying month lengths are handled automatically — it doesn't just divide days by 365.
Can I calculate age on a past or future date?
Yes. Change the 'age at date' field to any date to find how old someone was, or will be, on that day.
Why might the days look off by one?
Day counts depend on the exact calendar dates and your time zone. The calculator uses whole calendar days from birth date to target date.
