Age Calculator

Frequently asked questions

• How does this age calculator work?

  Enter your date of birth. The tool compares it with today’s date and returns the number of full years you have completed. If your birthday has not come yet this year, that year is not counted.

• Why does it show only years?

  This page reports completed years. It does not split the remainder into months and days. For a gap such as 25 years, 4 months, and 12 days, use the age difference calculator and put today as the second date.

• What if my birthday is later this year?

  You stay at your last completed age until the birthday date. Someone born on 15 December is still 25 on 7 October if they turned 25 the previous December, and becomes 26 only on 15 December.

• What about a 29 February birthday?

  In a leap year, 29 February counts as the birthday. In other years, the year is counted once the calendar has passed February, because there is no 29 February to wait for.

• Can I calculate someone else’s age?

  Yes. Enter any date of birth. The result is their completed age as of today on this device. A future date can show a negative number, so use a birth date that is today or earlier.

• Is this enough for a job, exam, or admission form?

  Use it as a quick check. Forms often ask for age as on a specific cut-off date, not as on today. For that, use the age difference calculator with the cut-off date, and follow the date on the birth certificate.
