Age Calculator
Exact age in years, months & days
How Age is Calculated
Age is calculated by counting full years, months, and days from your birth date to today. Leap years are accounted for, and partial months are calculated based on the actual number of days in each month. The Chinese zodiac shown is based on your birth year (the traditional lunar calendar may vary by a few weeks).
