Questions, answered

Things people actually ask.

Enter a birthdate and the calculator computes exact age in years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds, using calendar math. By default it computes against today, but you can change the 'as of' date for retrospective calculations.
Yes. The calculator uses real calendar dates, so February 29 birthdays are handled correctly and leap-year day counts are accurate.
Some systems count age as 'years completed' (the standard Western way), others as 'years entered' (some East Asian traditions add a year at birth and another at New Year). This calculator uses the Western 'completed years' method.
Use the Time Between Dates calculator for this — put both birthdates as start and end.
