Leave as today for current age or choose a past/future date to plan milestones or confirm age on a specific day.
Review the insights
See age breakdowns, total days lived, and the countdown to the next birthday with the day of the week.
Formula
Years = Reference Year − Birth Year (adjust for incomplete birthday)
Months = Reference Month − Birth Month (borrow from years if negative)
Days = Reference Day − Birth Day (borrow from months as needed)
Total Days = floor((Reference − Birth) ÷ 86,400,000 ms)
Example: Born 1990-01-01, reference 2025-11-09 → 35 years, 10 months, 8 days • 13,106 days lived.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it account for leap years?
Yes. Age is calculated using actual calendar days, so leap years are handled automatically.
Can it show age in hours or minutes?
Total days and weeks are provided. Multiply days by 24 or 1440 if you need hours or minutes.
What if I set a future reference date?
You will see how old you will be on that date and how many days remain until the next birthday after that point.
Can I use this for pets?
Yes—date math is the same. Combine with species-specific aging charts when interpreting results.
