How this works in your browser
The calculation works in calendar units rather than dividing a total day count. Whole years are counted first, then whole months, then remaining days, borrowing from the previous month's actual length when the day of month has not yet been reached. Doing it this way is what makes leap years and unequal month lengths correct automatically, since the arithmetic follows the real calendar rather than an averaged year. A total day count is also provided, computed directly between the two dates. Everything runs in your browser, which matters because a date of birth is one of the more sensitive things you can type into a web page.

Frequently asked questions
What it can and cannot do, and what happens to your files.
Can I calculate age as of a date other than today?
Yes, the "as of" date defaults to today but can be changed to any date, useful for calculating age at a specific past or future event.
Is my birth date stored anywhere?
No, the calculation happens entirely in your browser and nothing is saved or transmitted.
Does it account for leap years?
Yes, the calculation uses actual calendar dates, so leap years are automatically accounted for correctly.
Why can I not just divide the total days by 365?
Because months have different lengths and leap years add a day roughly every four years, so dividing gives an answer that drifts by days and occasionally by a whole month at the boundaries. Counting calendar units directly is the only way to get an age that matches what a form or a legal requirement means.
How is the months figure worked out?
By counting whole calendar months elapsed after the completed years, then the remaining days. This is why the day count varies between people of the same age in years and months: the length of the month you happen to land in differs.
Can I calculate age at a future date?
Yes. The as-of date accepts any date, so you can check what age someone will be at a wedding, an exam or a deadline, which is often more useful than age today.
Is my birth date transmitted anywhere?
No. Date of birth is a genuinely sensitive identifier, and the calculation runs entirely in your browser with nothing sent or stored.
