Age calculator

Nothing you type leaves this device.

Counted the way a registrar counts: whole years, then whole months, then the days left over.

Enter a date of birth and the age appears here, counted against your own clock.

The short answer

Age counts whole years first, then whole months, then the days left over. That is the order a registrar uses. It is also why this answer can sit a day or two away from tools that take the total days and divide by 30.44.

Counted against your own clock. No date you enter is sent anywhere, which matters more than it sounds when the date is a child’s.

The formula

whole years, then whole months from the anniversary, then the remaining days

About counting ages

Why two calculators disagree by a day

Months are not equal lengths, so "one month and three days" depends on which month you count from. This counts forward from the birth date, borrowing from the previous calendar month when the day of month has not yet come round — the same convention a registrar uses. Tools that convert to days first and divide by 30.44 will differ by a day or two, and neither is wrong so much as differently defined.

Questions people ask

Does it account for leap years?

Yes. The day count is a true difference between two dates, so every 29 February you have lived through is included.
