Age Calculator

How the Age Calculator Works

Our age calculator helps you determine your precise age in years, months, and days, based on the birth date you provide. The tool instantly calculates the difference between your birth date and the current date, giving you an accurate result in all units.

The Formula Explained

To calculate your age, the formula subtracts the birth date from the current date and accounts for leap years and varying month lengths. This ensures that the result is as accurate as possible. The formula behind the calculation is:

  • Years: Subtract the birth year from the current year.
  • Months: Adjust for the current month relative to your birth month.
  • Days: Calculate the difference in days based on your birth day and today’s date.

The result is displayed in all these formats, so you can see the exact time since your birth in every unit possible.

Examples

For example, if you were born on January 1, 1990, and today’s date is January 1, 2024, the calculator will show:

  • 34 years
  • 0 months
  • 0 days

If you were born on July 15, 2000, and today’s date is October 3, 2024, the calculator would show:

  • 24 years
  • 2 months
  • 18 days
