Exact age plus a next-birthday countdown.

What this age calculator does
Age Calculator computes the interval between a date of birth and a chosen “as of” date in years, months and days. It also reports total days and months lived, the day of the week you were born, and how many days remain until your next birthday.
The maths is not a simple division by 365. Leap years and unequal month lengths mean the correct method borrows days and months, the same way you would calculate it by hand. The tool does that, including the 29 February edge case.
Why use it
- Complete forms that require exact age in years, months and days.
- Check eligibility cut-offs tied to a specific date.
- Find out how many days remain until a birthday or anniversary.
How to use it
- 1Pick a date of birth.
- 2Set the “as of” date — today by default.
- 3Read the exact age and the next-birthday countdown.
- 4Copy the formatted result for a form or document.

Common mistakes
- Dividing total days by 365.25 and expecting an exact age — that is an approximation, not calendar arithmetic.
- Forgetting time zones: dates without times are treated as local calendar dates.
- Using the age on the form date rather than the eligibility cut-off date.
