What does this tool do?
Age Calculator works out exactly how much time has passed from your birth date to today (or any date you pick), broken down into years, months and days. It is handy for anyone who needs to state their precise age on a form, figure out how many months old a baby is, or count down to a retirement date.

How it works
When you enter a birth date the tool resolves the gap using real calendar logic: it counts the full years first, then the remaining months, then the leftover days. Variable month lengths of 28 to 31 days and leap-year February 29ths are handled automatically. That makes it far more accurate than crude methods like dividing the total days by 365, which slowly drifts off over a lifetime.
Real-world uses
Finding a baby's exact age in months to follow a vaccination schedule, checking an age cut-off for school enrolment, proving your age on an insurance or loan application, working out the age gap between two people, and counting down to anniversaries. You can also compare any date against a chosen reference date instead of today.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't I just subtract the years?
Because if your birthday hasn't happened yet this year, plain subtraction gives a number one too high. This tool checks the month and day too, so it knows whether you have passed your birthday and returns your true age.
Are leap years (Feb 29) counted correctly?
Yes. The calculation uses actual calendar days, so February 29 and the differing month lengths are accounted for automatically.
Can I calculate age at a future date?
Yes. Set the reference date to a day ahead to see how old you will be then, or how long is left until an event.
