How Age Calculation Works

Age calculation subtracts your birth date from the target date. The calculator accounts for leap years and varying month lengths to give you precise results. For example, if you were born on June 15, 1990, and today is June 15, 2026, your exact age is 36 years, 0 months, and 0 days.

Leap Years and Age Calculation

People born on February 29 (leap day) have their age calculated differently. Most legal systems consider March 1 as the birthday in non-leap years. Our calculator handles this edge case correctly.
