Age Calculator
Enter your date of birth to find your exact age in years, months, and days — plus totals in days, weeks, months, and hours.
Your calculation is performed in your browser.How it works
The calculator compares the year, month, and day of your birth date with the selected calculation date (today, by default). It counts full years first, then full months left over, then full days left over, the same way you would count on a calendar.
Formula & methodology
The calculator uses calendar subtraction, the way you would count on a paper calendar. It counts full years first, then full months, then leftover days. When the day of the month is too small to subtract, it borrows the real length of the previous month rather than assuming 30 days.
Age = Target date − Date of birth (as years, months, days)Total days = Target date − Date of birthTotal weeks = ⌊ Total days ÷ 7 ⌋Total months = (Years × 12) + MonthsTotal hours = Total days × 24What each term means
- Target date
- The date you are calculating your age on (today by default).
- Round down (⌊ ⌋)
- Round down to the nearest whole number.
- Years, Months
- Complete years and complete months from the calendar subtraction.
Worked example
If you were born on March 15, 2000 and calculate your age on September 13, 2026, you are 26 years, 5 months, and 29 days old — 9,678 total days.
Common uses
- —Visa, passport, and legal forms that ask for age in exact years, months, and days rather than just a birth year.
- —Insurance applications and eligibility checks, where premiums or coverage can depend on precise age.
- —School, program, or competition enrollment cutoffs based on a child’s exact age on a specific date.
- —Medical and pediatric records, where dosage or growth-chart placement depends on precise age rather than a rounded year.
- —Milestone tracking, such as finding the exact date you’ll turn 10,000 days old or reach a round-number birthday.
Important notes
- —If you were born on February 29, this calculator treats March 1 as the day your age in years increases during non-leap years — the same convention many age calculators use, since February 29 simply doesn’t exist in those years.
- —You can calculate your age as of any past or future date, not just today.
