What is an Age Calculator?
An age calculator is a tool that calculates the precise time elapsed since your birth date. It considers day, month, and year differences, and can account for nuances like leap years and varying month lengths. Whether you want to find out your age in years, months, days, or even in hours and minutes, our calculator does the job quickly and accurately.

How It Works
Our Age Calculator compares your birth date to the current date (or a date you specify) and calculates the difference in years, months, and days. We also offer additional breakdowns, like total weeks and total months. By adjusting for leap years and month length variations, we ensure accuracy down to the day.

Detailed Explanation
Precision Calculation
We factor in:
- Leap years: including the century rule (e.g., 2000 was a leap year, 1900 was not).
- Month lengths: from 28 to 31 days depending on the month.
- Daylight saving: local time differences if relevant.
Step-by-Step Process
- Capture birth date and compare with current date.
- Calculate initial difference in years, months, and days.
- Adjust for negative days by reducing one month and adding days of the previous month.
- Adjust for negative months by reducing one year and adding 12 months.
- Provide final breakdown of exact age, total weeks, and total months.
Frequently Asked Questions

Can I calculate ages for future dates?
Absolutely! Simply enter a future date in place of today’s date to see how old you or someone else will be at that point in time.
Why do I see a slight difference on some dates?
