Frequently asked questions
Does it account for leap years?
Yes. The calculation is based on real calendar dates, so leap days are included automatically.
Can I calculate an age in the future?
Yes. Set the "as of" date to any future day and the calculator returns the age you will be on that date.
Why do weeks differ from another site?
Some sites count complete weeks from a Monday. Here weeks are simply total days divided by seven and rounded down.
