Age Calculator
Is this tool helpful?
How to use the tool
- Select your birthdate: tap the calendar and pick the day you were born.
- Example A: 5 May 1995
- Example B: 30 January 2010
- Press “Calculate.” The script instantly measures the gap between today and your birthdate.
- Read the results panel: you’ll see age in years, months, days; total days lived; days to next birthday; and your zodiac sign.
- Check the pie chart: it visualises the share of years, months and days in your life span.
Behind-the-scenes formulas
- Years $$\rac{\text{current year} – \text{birth year}}{1}$$
- Months $$\text{current month} – \text{birth month}$$ (subtract one year and add 12 if negative)
- Days $$\text{current day} – \text{birth day}$$ (borrow previous month’s length if negative)
- Total days lived $$\left\lfloor\rac{\text{today} – \text{birthday}}{86\,400\,\text{s}}\right\rfloor$$
- Days to next birthday $$\left\lceil\rac{\text{next birthday} – \text{today}}{86\,400\,\text{s}}\right\rceil$$
Worked example: 5 May 1995 → 18 September 2024
- Years: 2024 − 1995 = 29
- Months: 9 − 5 = 4
- Days: 18 − 5 = 13
- Exact age: 29 years, 4 months, 13 days
- Zodiac sign: Taurus

FAQ
What formula does the calculator use?
It subtracts birthdate from today, borrowing months or days when negative values appear, following Gregorian rules (ISO 8601:2004).
How are leap years handled?
The script adds 29 February in years divisible by 4, except 100 unless also by 400, mirroring astronomical practice (USNO, 2023).
What date range can I enter?
You can choose any date from 01-01-1970 to 31-12-275760 owing to JavaScript’s 64-bit time limits (ECMA-262, 2023).
How accurate is the total-days figure?
It counts every 24-hour block between midnight UTC values, producing exact day totals for all dates after 1970 (Mozilla Docs, 2024).
Can I get my zodiac sign without astrology knowledge?
Yes. The tool cross-references your month-day with twelve preset ranges and outputs the matching sign (Royal Astronomical Society, 2022).
How do I use the next-birthday countdown?
Plan parties or reminders: subtract today from your upcoming birthday; the script displays the remaining days automatically.
Is this age valid for legal documents?
Courts accept Gregorian-based calculations; verify the displayed age matches official records before submission (US Courts Manual, 2023).
What makes this method reliable?
“The Gregorian calendar repeats every 400 years, ensuring accuracy within one day,” notes the US Naval Observatory (USNO, 2023).
