The Formula
Age = completed calendar years, months and days from birth date to reference dateFrequently Asked Questions
Can I calculate age on a past date?
Yes. Set the reference date to any day on or after the birth date and the result shows the age on that day.
Why does the day count change near a birthday?
A birthday advances the year only on the calendar anniversary. The calculator subtracts whole months and then counts the remaining days.
