Age Calculation Methodology
Our calculator compares your date of birth to a chosen target date. It handles leap years, month lengths, and calendar rules for precise results.
Leap Year Considerations
February 29th is supported, and leap year cycles are accounted for in all age calculations.
Month Length Variations
Months differ between 28 and 31 days. The tool automatically adjusts for accuracy.
Time Zone Independence
Calculations use standardized dates unaffected by daylight savings or time zones.
Multiple Format Support
Results appear in years, months, days, hours, minutes, and total days lived.
Chronological vs. Biological Age
Chronological age measures exact time since birth. Biological age refers to how healthy or “old” your body appears. This tool provides chronological age only.
Cultural Differences: Western Method
Most Western countries measure age by birthdays. For example, a person who has lived 3 years and 11 months is considered 3, and turns 4 on their next birthday.
Cultural Differences: East Asian Method
In some cultures, age is counted differently. Traditional Chinese systems may start a baby at age 1 and increase age at the New Year, not on birthdays. As a result, the same person could have different “ages” depending on the system used.
End-of-Month Calculation Clarifications
Age calculations can become tricky when starting dates fall at the end of the month. For instance, counting from Feb 28 to Mar 31 could be read as one month, or one month plus 3 days, depending on the method. Our calculator follows a consistent approach: months are counted in full cycles from date to date, ensuring predictable results.
U.S. vs. International Usage
This calculator is based on the Gregorian calendar, standard in the U.S. and most countries worldwide.
