Age Calculator

Calculate your exact age in years, months, and days, along with useful age statistics and time until your next birthday.

Enter your date of birth and the date you want to calculate your age on.

How is age calculated?

Your age is calculated by comparing your date of birth with the selected target date.

The calculator first counts the number of completed years, then the remaining completed months, and finally the remaining days.

Exact age = Completed years + Completed months + Remaining days

Age calculation example

Suppose someone was born on 15 January 2000 and their age is calculated on 20 March 2025.

From 15 January 2000 to 15 January 2025 = 25 years.

From 15 January to 15 March = 2 additional months.

From 15 March to 20 March = 5 additional days.

Exact age: 25 years, 2 months, and 5 days

What else does the calculator show?

Total months

This gives an approximate count of how many complete months have passed since the date of birth.

Total weeks and days

The calculator also shows the total number of weeks and calendar days between the two selected dates.

Next birthday

You can also see how many days remain until the next birthday based on the selected target date.

Why exact age can be different

Months do not all contain the same number of days, and leap years add an extra day to February. Because of this, calculating exact age is more accurate when calendar dates are compared directly instead of simply dividing the number of days by 365.
