Age Calculator — Find Your Exact Age in Years, Months & Days
Calculate someone's exact age — down to the day — from their date of birth, instantly.
While we generally know our age in years, calculating an exact age — including months and days — by hand requires accounting for varying month lengths and leap years, which is easy to get wrong.
Our Age Calculator takes a date of birth and a reference date (defaulting to today) and instantly calculates the exact age in years, months, and days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the calculator account for leap years?
Yes, the calculation accounts for the actual number of days in each month and year, including leap years, to give an accurate result.
Can I calculate age as of a date other than today?
Yes, if the tool allows specifying a reference date, you can calculate someone's age as of any past or future date — useful for eligibility checks at a specific point in time.
Why does my age in months and days look different from what I expected?
Age in years, months, and days is calculated by counting complete years, then complete months within the remaining period, then remaining days — this can sometimes feel different from informal counting, but it's the standard precise method.
Can I use this to calculate the age of something other than a person?
Yes, the same date-difference logic works for calculating the 'age' of any item with a known start date — such as how long ago a document was created.
