Enter a date of birth to see the exact age in years, months and days immediately.
How to calculate age from date of birth
The calculator counts full calendar years first, then full calendar months after the last birthday, and finally the remaining days. This is why an exact age can differ from simply dividing total days lived by 365.
Exact calendar ageSomeone can be 30 years, 2 months and 12 days old even though a decimal-year calculation produces a slightly different number.
Age on another date and leap-day birthdays
Use “Use another date” when you need an age on a past or future date instead of today. For February 29 birthdays, anniversary dates in non-leap years are clamped to the last valid day of February for calculation purposes.
This makes the calculator useful for questions such as “how old am I?”, age-at-event calculations, eligibility dates and birthday planning.

Common questions
Can I calculate age on a date other than today?
Yes. Select “Use another date” and enter the date on which you want the person’s age calculated.
How are February 29 birthdays handled?
In non-leap years, the calculation uses the last valid day of February when it needs the birthday anniversary date.
Why not divide the number of days by 365?
Calendar years and months have different lengths, and leap years add an extra day. Exact age is therefore calculated using calendar boundaries rather than a fixed 365-day year.
