Age Calculator

How Does the Age Calculator Work?

Have you thought about exactly how many days, hours, or minutes you have been alive? Knowing your exact age is not only a fun question but often very necessary to share, whether you are filling out a formal application, signing up for a service, or commemorating a significant milestone. The Online Age Calculator takes the time from your Date of Birth (DoB) all the way to today and counts down to the second!

What is the Age Calculator and How Does It Function?

Our Age Calculator is an online tool that calculates a time difference involving two dates:

•  Your Date of Birth (DoB)
•  The Current Date (or any date you want).

The method to determine this timing includes three basic functions:

•  Calculate the Main Years: The calculator first determines the full years between your birth year and the current year.
•  Account for the Leap Years: Most importantly, it determines the number of Leap Years that have occurred (which will add an extra day each 4 years) and includes the Leap Years of February 29th and all extra days added for all rounds until the current date. If your calculator doesn’t include all Leap Years, you will outgrow it and your age calculation will be incorrect.

Fun fact; if you were born February 29th, you only celebrate your birthday every 4 years (even though your age increases every day!)

Why Do You Need to Know Your Exact Age?

Knowing your precise age is necessary for more than just curiosity in a number of situations, such as:

Government and School Applications: There is often a strict age requirement for many applications or entrance exams that requires you to state your age as of a specified cut-off date.

Financial Planning: For retirement planning, qualifying for certain loans, or using insurance, age can be an important part of your financial planning.

Medical and Health Records: When doctors are determining drug dosages, they will use age as an exact number to estimate development and determine the correct dosage, especially for infants and children.

Next Birthday Countdown: Our product can also tell you the exact number of days until your next birthday, so you can plan your birthday with precision!
