Precise Age Calculator
What is my age?
Age, in general, is the amount of time for which something existed.
A person’s age is the time that has passed from the moment they were born. The time before birth is called the gestational age (the age of a pregnancy is counted from conception).
In most parts of the world, a baby starts life at 0 and becomes 1 year old on the first anniversary of their birth. However, in some countries (notably in Korea), age is counted differently. In the text, we’ll use the most common system.
Let’s see how to use the age calculator to help you answer the question – “what is my age?”.
What is my age?
Curious how to work out your age by hand? Let’s walk through it step by step with an example. Imagine today is January 15, 2021, and you were born on December 5, 2000.
Count full years
Find your most recent birthday before today: December 5, 2020.
Subtract the years:
2020 – 2000 = 20 years
Add complete months
From December 5, 2020, move forward one month at a time without passing January 15, 2021.
One month takes you to January 5, 2021—any further and you’d overshoot today.
That’s 1 month.
Add the leftover days
You’re now at January 5, 2021.
Subtract: January 15, 2021 – January 5, 2021 = 10 days
Combine the results
20 years + 1 month + 10 days
So your age on January 15, 2021 is 20 years, 1 month, and 10 days.
