About Age Calculator

Calculating an exact age requires more than subtracting years — you need to account for whether the birthday has occurred yet in the current year, and how many days remain in the current month. This calculator uses a three-step algorithm: subtract years, then adjust months (borrowing from years if negative), then adjust days (borrowing from months using the actual days in the previous month). The result shows years, months, and days as a breakdown, plus total days (millisecond difference divided by 86,400,000) and total weeks (total days divided by 7, floored). The 'As of date' defaults to today but can be set to any date — past or future — to calculate age at a specific point in time. The date of birth input is capped at the 'as of' date. HR professionals verifying employee ages, parents tracking milestones, and developers building age-gated features are the primary users.
