⚙️ How It Works
An age calculator determines the exact time elapsed between two dates — typically your birth date and today. It breaks down the result into years, months, and days by accounting for varying month lengths and leap years. It can also calculate the day of the week you were born and how many days until your next birthday.
Age = Current Date − Birth Date | Calculated by subtracting years, then months, then days, adjusting for month lengths and leap years

❓ FAQ
How is age calculated exactly?
Age is calculated by finding the difference between two dates. First subtract the years, then check if the birthday has occurred this year. If not, subtract one year and calculate the remaining months and days.
What is a leap year?
A leap year has 366 days (February has 29 days instead of 28). A year is a leap year if it's divisible by 4, except century years must be divisible by 400. So 2000 was a leap year, but 1900 was not.
How do different cultures calculate age?
In East Asian cultures (Korea, China, Japan traditionally), a person is considered 1 year old at birth and gains a year on New Year's Day rather than their birthday. This 'East Asian age reckoning' can make someone 1–2 years older than their Western age.
What is the average human lifespan?
Global average life expectancy is about 73 years (WHO, 2023). It varies significantly by country — from over 84 years in Japan to under 55 in some countries. Lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and not smoking can add 10+ years.
