Age calculator
Calculate age in years, months and days, and days until the next birthday.
What the result means
Age in years, months and days uses calendar months, not a 30-day fiction. 29 February birthdays use 28 February in non-leap years.
How it is calculated
Calendar span from birth to the chosen date, then next anniversary
- On: Often today, but you can pick any date.
Years, months and leftover days match the date-difference calendar span.
Assumptions
- Gregorian calendar.
- Leap-day birthdays observed on 28 February when 29 February does not exist.
Worked example
Born 15 January 1990, age on 19 August 2026
Default example.
- Years
- 36
- Next birthday
- 15 January 2027
Change the “on” date to a school cutoff or a visa day if you need age on that day.
Not a legal age test
Licensing, voting and award junior rates can use different “age on this date” rules. This is a civil-calendar age.
Questions
Can I count down to a birthday?
Yes — days until next birthday is on this page. The countdown calculator is for any future date.
