Age Calculator by TheCalcTools

How the Age Calculator works

Enter your date of birth and the date you want your age measured at; the second date defaults to today. The calculator subtracts years, months and days, borrowing days from the previous month when needed, which is how people normally count age.

Total days lived is the exact number of calendar days between the two dates. The next birthday is the next calendar occurrence of your birth date, and for people born on 29 February, birthdays in non-leap years are counted on 28 February. Time of day and time zones are ignored.

The formula

Age = (years, months, days) between the two dates, borrowing from the previous month when the day is smallerTotal days = number of calendar days between the dates.

Worked example

Born 15 June 1990, measured on 10 October 2026:

Date of birthJune 15, 1990
Measured onOctober 10, 2026
  1. Years: 2026 − 1990 = 36; months: October − June = 4; days: 10 − 15 = −5, so borrow a month: 3 months and 25 days (September has 30 days).
  2. Exact age = 36 years, 3 months, 25 days.
  3. Total days lived = 13,266. You were born on a Friday.

Result:

Exact age36 years, 3 months, 25 days

Total days13,266

Frequently asked questions

How is age calculated?

By counting full years since your birthday, then the extra full months, then the remaining days.

Why do two age calculators sometimes give different days?

Month lengths differ. Methods that borrow from the previous month, as here, can differ by a day or two from those that count forward from the birthday.

What happens for a 29 February birthday?

Here, it counts as 28 February in non-leap years. Some countries use 1 March for legal purposes.

Can I count days between any two dates?

Yes, use the date calculator.
