Age Calculator Tool FAQ
Basic Usage
Our age calculator computes your exact age by comparing your birth date with the current date (or any specified date). It calculates: 1) Years, 2) Months, 3) Days, 4) Weeks, 5) Hours, and even 6) Minutes old you are. The calculation accounts for leap years and varying month lengths for precise results.
We accept multiple formats: 1) MM/DD/YYYY (US style), 2) DD/MM/YYYY (European style), 3) YYYY-MM-DD (ISO standard), 4) Month name formats (January 1, 1990). The tool automatically detects your region's preferred format and allows you to switch between formats in settings.
Yes! Our advanced mode lets you: 1) Calculate age on any historical date, 2) Project age for future dates, 3) Compare ages between two people, 4) Calculate time until next birthday. This is useful for school enrollments, retirement planning, or historical research.
Calculation Methods
Our algorithm: 1) Identifies all leap years in the calculation period, 2) Properly accounts for February 29th birthdays, 3) Adjusts day counts accordingly, 4) Displays special notifications for leap year birthdays. If you were born on February 29th, we calculate your "non-leap year" birthday as March 1st.
