How age is calculated from date of birth
Age calculators subtract the birth date from the reference date, then adjust for month lengths and leap years to return a precise years‑months‑days breakdown.
Practical uses of an age calculator
- Verify age eligibility for school, licenses, or online registrations that require minimum or maximum ages.
- Track how old children will be on future dates for planning activities, travel, or education.
- Create personalized birthday content using exact age and days lived statistics.
