Exact age from date of birth

This age calculator finds the calendar difference between a date of birth and a selected date. It reports completed years, remaining months and remaining days instead of estimating age by dividing total days by 365.

How to use the age calculator

  1. Select the date of birth.
  2. Keep today's date selected or choose another date.
  3. Select Calculate my age.

Example

Date of birth: January 10, 2000. Age on: January 10, 2026. Result: 26 years, 0 months and 0 days.

Age for admission, forms and eligibility

You can change the “Calculate age on” date to an admission closing date, examination date or any other reference date. For official eligibility, follow the date and age rules stated by the relevant institution.

Exact age versus total days

Calendar age uses years and months of different lengths. Total days is a separate elapsed-day count that naturally includes leap days within the selected period.

Leap-year birthdays

A person born on February 29 has a real calendar birthday every leap year. For the next-birthday countdown in a non-leap year, this tool uses February 28 as a practical display convention. Legal rules can differ.
