Frequently asked questions

How is the exact age worked out?

It counts complete years, then complete months, then the remaining days since the date of birth, the same way people count age in everyday life.

What about people born on 29 February?

In years that aren't leap years, the birthday is counted on 28 February, so the calculator always shows a next birthday.

Can I find the age on a past or future date?

Yes. Change the "Age on this date" field, for example to see how old someone was at an event or how old they will be next year.

Is my date of birth stored?

No. It stays in your browser and isn't sent anywhere.
