Age Calculator

Exact age calculation accounts for varying month lengths and leap years to produce a precise result in years, months, and days. Enter a date of birth and an optional target date to compute age along with total months, weeks, days, hours, and minutes.

Quick Answer

A person born on January 1, 2000 is 26 years, 1 month, and 14 days old as of February 15, 2026. That is 313 months, 1,363 weeks, or 9,542 days.

Common Examples

Input Result
Born Jan 1, 2000 (as of Feb 15, 2026) 26 years, 1 month, 14 days
Born Jul 4, 1990 (as of Feb 15, 2026) 35 years, 7 months, 11 days
Born Dec 25, 1985 (as of Feb 15, 2026) 40 years, 1 month, 21 days
Born Feb 29, 2000 (as of Feb 15, 2026) 25 years, 11 months, 17 days

How It Works

The age calculation finds the calendar difference between two dates by counting complete years, then complete months, then remaining days.

Years: the number of full years between the birth date and the target date. A year is only counted once the birth month and day have passed in that calendar year.

Months: the number of additional full months after the last completed year. A month is only counted once the birth day of the month has passed.

Days: the remaining days after the last completed month. When the target day is less than the birth day, the calculator borrows from the previous month, using that month’s actual length (28, 29, 30, or 31 days).

Total values are derived from the same date pair:

  • Total days = floor((target date - birth date) / 86,400,000 ms)
  • Total weeks = floor(total days / 7)
  • Total months = (years x 12) + months
  • Total hours = total days x 24
  • Total minutes = total hours x 60

This approach accounts for varying month lengths and leap years automatically.

Worked Example

For a birthdate of January 1, 2000 and a target date of February 15, 2026: From January 1, 2000 to January 1, 2026 = 26 full years. From January 1 to February 1, 2026 = 1 full month. From February 1 to February 15, 2026 = 14 days. Result: 26 years, 1 month, 14 days. In total days: 9,542 (including 7 leap days for 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024).

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the age calculator handle leap years?
The calculator accounts for leap years automatically. If your birthday is February 29, the calculator still computes your exact age correctly for any target date.
What time zone does this calculator use?
The calculator uses date values only (no time zones). It computes the calendar difference between the two dates you provide.
Can I calculate age between any two dates?
Yes. By default the calculator uses today's date, but you can change the 'Age as of' field to any date to find the time elapsed between two dates.
