How age is calculated
Age is measured in completed calendar years, then completed calendar months, then remaining days. This avoids treating every month or year as a fixed number of days.
Age calculation example
Someone born July 15, 2000 is 25 years old on July 14, 2026 and turns 26 on July 15, 2026.
What to know
- The calculation date defaults to your local date today.
- February 29 birthdays use valid calendar-date handling in non-leap years.
