Age Calculator by Date of Birth
Wondering “how old am I?” Enter your date of birth to calculate your age in completed years, months and days. This is your chronological age, also called calendar age. Calculate it for today or choose another date for a past event or future milestone. It works for adults, babies and children, with leap years and different month lengths included.
Need to know your age on an application deadline, exam date, school enrollment date or other milestone? Choose that date to calculate your precise age from your date of birth. Check the relevant organization’s rules separately if you are assessing eligibility. This age calculator measures calendar age; it does not estimate biological age, gestational age, fitness or a pet’s age.
Use the age difference calculator to compare two birth dates, the birthday countdown calculator to find days until your next birthday, or the age in days calculator to calculate and compare total days lived.
Frequently asked questions
What is my age and how is it calculated?

“Calculate age on” starts with today’s date. Enter your birth date and choose Calculate age to see your exact age today, full weeks lived and the next birthday countdown.
Can I use this age calculator for a baby or child?

How do I calculate my age on an eligibility cutoff date?
Enter your date of birth and set “Calculate age on” to the cutoff date in the relevant notice. Check that organization’s rules for any additional eligibility conditions.
Is this a biological age calculator?

What age can I retire?
Retirement eligibility depends on your country, employer and pension rules. This tool can show your age on a chosen date, but it cannot determine when you may retire.

Yes. Leap years are included when counting days lived and finding the next birthday. For someone born on February 29, the countdown uses February 28 in non-leap years.
Are my dates stored?
No. The calculation runs in your browser. The dates are not uploaded or saved by this website.
