Age Calculator

The Age Calculator helps you determine your age on the given date. Whether you need to know the age as of today or any other date, this tool provides an accurate result.

This age calculator has been designed to calculate your age based on the input provided in the ‘Date of Birth’ field and it will give you the current age as on today. Optionally, you can enter a date of your choice in the ‘Age as of’ field to know your age at that particular point in time. This is basically a chronological age calculator. It displays the age in a detailed breakdown, including years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds.

You can also use this calculator to find out the age of historical monuments, organizations, or vintage collectibles. Just enter the date, the monument was completed or the collectible was procured in the ‘Date of Birth’ field. Then, enter the current date in the ‘Age as of’ field to calculate the exact age of the monument or item.

How it calculates the age

This Online Age Calculator uses the most common age system, where your age increases on your birthday. For example, if you are 19 years and 11 months, then you will be considered as 19 years old. When your next birthday comes in a month, you will turn 20. This is the standard approach in most of the countries.

Sometimes, figuring out the exact age in months and days can get tricky, especially when the dates fall at the end of a month. For example, calculating from February 20 to March 20 is straightforward—one month. But what about from February 28, 2022, to March 31, 2022? There are two ways to look at it:

1. From February 28 to March 28 is one month and 3 days.
2. If you consider both February 28 and March 31 as the end of the month, it’s just one month.

Both methods are reasonable, and the confusion arises because different months have different numbers of days. Our calculator follows the first method to maintain consistency.

Chronological age calculator

The chronological age is the amount of time that has passed from one’s birth to a given date. It is commonly quoted in years, months, weeks, days, etc. However, biological age reflects the condition of the body and mind. It can be younger or older than the chronological age depending on various health factors. This age calculator measures the chronological age of a person, animal (dog, cat etc.), or any item.
