Age Calculator
This online age calculator helps you find your age in years, months, and days.
How to Calculate Age
Calculating age might seem straightforward, but it involves some nuances, especially when accounting for months and days. Our age calculator simplifies this process by taking your date of birth and comparing it to the current date (or another specified date).
The Logic Behind the Calculation
The core of the calculation subtracts the birth date from the current date. The process starts with days, then months, then years. If the number of birth days is greater than the current day, we "borrow" days from the current month. A similar process is followed for months. This ensures the calculation is precise, accounting for the varying number of days in each month and leap years.
