Calculate Age From Birthdatee

The age of a person can be counted differently in different cultures. This calculator is based on the most common age system. In this system, age increases on a person's birthday. For example, the age of a person who has lived for 3 years and 11 months is 3, and their age will increase to 4 on their next birthday one month later. Most western countries use this age system.

What is My Age?

In some situations, the months and day result of this age calculator may be confusing, especially when the starting date is the end of a month. For example, we count Feb. 20 to Mar. 20 to be one month. However, there are two ways to calculate the age from Feb. 28, 2022 to Mar. 31, 2022. If we consider Feb. 28 to Mar. 28 to be one month, then the result is one month and 3 days. If we consider both Feb. 28 and Mar. 31 as the end of the month, then the result is one month. Both calculation results are reasonable. Similar situations exist for dates like Apr. 30 to May 31, May 30 to June 30, etc. The confusion comes from the uneven number of days in different months. In our calculations, we use the former method.

What Is Your Chronological Age?

Your chronological age is simply the number of years since your birth date suggests. It is the age you celebrate every year with several candles on your cake. This is also called your calendar age.

This chronological age calculator can help you calculate your age. Input your date of birth and today's date to find your current age. You can also input a different end date to see what your age would be on that day. You can see how many days are left until your next birthday or event date at the bottom of all age calculations.

How Old is My Child?

Parents of newborn babies or infants often need to count weeks or months to tell someone how old their child is. This calculator automatically provides weeks and months of age for any age calculation.

To find how many weeks old your newborn is, input their date of birth and click the Calculate button. The "Find Age on" boxes automatically include today's date but you can also input a date in the future. The calculator displays your child's age in weeks, and also months if applicable.

How Age is Calculated

This age calculator uses two methods to calculate age. One calculates age in years, months and days, and also months and days. The other method precisely calculates age in total days only to provide that solution to you.

In the first method, the age calculator finds age in general terms. It counts all years as 365 days. It also treats all months as an average of 30.4167 days.

We divide 365 by 12 to get the average 30.4167 days per month. The calculator then finds the time between two dates in standard-length years and months.

For example, a teenager might say he is 15 years old. He would not say that he's 12 normal years old plus 3 leap years old.

This age calculator uses the same assumption. We know years can be different lengths. However we treat regular years and leap years as equal. The same is true for months, where each month is a generic month that is 30.4167 days long.

These assumptions won't work in the calculation to find the total number of days. In this case the calculator uses a programming function to find the exact number of days since a date of birth or event. This function counts the regular years and leap years in a time span. The age calculator then converts that time span into days.

Calculate Age in Total Number of Days

Calculate age in total number of days as the sum of:

• Number of years, x, with 365 days = 365 * x plus,
• Number of leap years, y, with 366 days = 366 * y plus,
• Number of days in the remaining partial year

The age calculator also finds the specific number of days in a partial year. For example, if you were born on March 5 and today is June 7, the calculator calculates the days between those dates. The answer includes the number of years, months and days since your birth.

How Many Days Until...?

If you want to calculate by hand how many days until some date or event, you need to account for extra days in leap years. You also need to know the months with 31 days, those months with 30 days, and the one month with 28 days.

Number of Days per Month

• January - 31 days
• February - 28 days in a regular year
• February - 29 days in a leap year
• March - 31 days
• April - 30 days
• May - 31 days
• June - 30 days
• July - 31 days
• August - 31 days
• September - 30 days
• October - 31 days
• November - 30 days
• December - 31 days

You can count the days until a special day like a birthday, Thanksgiving, the Fourth of July, or the start of your vacation. Assuming the date is less than a year away, tally up the number of days per full month between now and your target date. Then add the partial months -- the number of days left in this month, and the number of days in the partial month before your target date.

You can use this Age Calculator to find the number of days until an event date. Insert today's date in the "Date of Birth" field, and your target date on "Find Age on" field. The calculator will compute the number of days till your date and display it in the exact number of days.

Date Inputs

The age calculator allows you to input single digit days. You do not have to pad them with a leading zero if the date is less than 10. You should input the 4-digit year.

This calculator assumes the start date is day 0 and begins counting after one full day. For example if you input the dates 03/15/2022 and 3/18/2022 into the calculator you will get a total age of 3 days. Day 1 is the 16th, day 2 is the 17th, and day 3 is the 18th. We do not count the 15th because it is day 0.

How to Calculate Age from Birthdate in Excel

You can use Excel to keep track of age or time since a date or event. To find the number of years since a date of birth or event, input the month, day and year in a cell in Excel in MM/DD/YYYY format. Use the formula =DATEDIF(A1, TODAY(), "Y") to get age in number of years. In the formula, A1 refers to the cell that contains your date of birth or event.

If you need the number of months and days since the date of birth, use this formula in another cell: =DATEDIF(A1, TODAY(), "YM"). This will give you the full months. Finally, in another cell, type =DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"MD") to find the remaining days since the date of birth or event.

You can use the "CONCAT" function to string your results together like this: =CONCAT(A2, " years, ", A3, " months, ", A4, " days "). Here, A2, A3 and A4 refer to your outputs years, months, and days respectively.
