Age calculator

Calculate age in years, months and days at a chosen reference date.

Gregorian civil dates from years 0001 to 9999, without time or timezone. Monthly anniversaries remain anchored to the birth day, clamped to the last day of shorter months. February 29 becomes February 28 in non-leap years. A calculation convention, not a determination of legal age. Example: January 31 to February 29, 2024 = 0 years, 1 month, 0 days.
