Age calculator

Find the calendar difference between a date of birth and a date you choose, in years, months, and days.

Updated September 13, 2026

Choose your dates

Uses calendar dates, without time of day. For a month without your birth day, we use the last day of that month.

Enter valid dates. The reference date must be on or after the date of birth.

How to use this calculator

  1. 1Enter the date of birth.
  2. 2Choose the reference date; it starts with today’s date in your browser.
  3. 3Read the complete years, remaining months, and remaining days.
  4. 4Use the totals to compare complete weeks, months, or days.

How calendar age is counted

The calculation counts complete calendar months from the birth date, then the remaining days. Twelve complete months make a year. It uses dates rather than times, so your time zone and a daylight-saving change do not add or remove a day from the difference.

When a month has no matching day

For a January 31 start, a one-month anniversary falls on February’s last day. For February 29, an anniversary in a non-leap year uses February 28. This is the calculator’s convention; rules for legal age or official deadlines may differ.

A worked example

From June 15, 2000 to June 15, 2026 is exactly 26 years. One day earlier is 25 years, 11 months, and 30 days. The total days count includes leap days within the interval.

What the totals mean

Complete weeks are total days divided by seven, rounded down. Hours are total days multiplied by 24; they do not measure the exact elapsed hours between two birth times. No date of birth is sent to a server by this calculator.

Common questions

Can I choose a past or future reference date?

Yes. The reference date can be any valid date on or after the birth date.

Does this calculate legal age?

It calculates a calendar interval using the stated month-end convention. Check the rules that apply to official, legal, or administrative uses.
