Date and Time Calculators

Age Calculator

Calculate exact calendar age, elapsed totals, and the next birthday.

Enter a date of birth and an as-of date to calculate completed calendar age and elapsed totals without assuming a fixed-length year.

Calculate with the Age Calculator

Dates are validated as calendar components before calculation.

How to use the Age Calculator

  1. Enter the required calendar dates, times, or rule values.
  2. Choose the counting convention or mode where offered.
  3. Select Calculate or press Enter.
  4. Review the result, basis, and limitations before using it.

Worked example

1 August 2000 to 1 August 2026 is exactly 26 years.

Assumptions

Date-only calculations use the proleptic Gregorian calendar and ignore clock time. Elapsed-time calculations and selected-zone conversions state their time basis separately.

Limitations

  • A future date of birth is rejected.
  • A 29 February birthday is observed on 28 February in non-leap years for next-birthday calculations.

Frequently asked questions

What date basis does the Age Calculator use?

The result uses calendar dates unless the page explicitly describes elapsed time or a selected time zone.

Can daylight-saving time change calendar-day totals?

No. Date-only calculations use normalized UTC day numbers. Elapsed timestamp and time-zone calculations are explicitly handled separately.

Are entered dates stored?

No. Calculations run in your browser and the entered dates are not saved or sent anywhere.
