Enter your date of birth above for the exact count, leap days included. For a quick estimate, multiply your age in years by 365.25: a 25-year-old has been alive for about 9,131 days.

Birthdays come once a year; these milestones come once a lifetime. Most people never notice their 10,000th day or their billionth second, so the calculator shows yours, with the exact date.

How it works

How to calculate your age from your date of birth

Age sounds simple until months have different lengths and leap years get involved. Here's exactly how we count, so your answer matches what you'd work out by hand.

  1. Full years firstEvery birthday you've reached counts as a year.
  2. Then full monthsEach monthly birthday since then counts as a month. Born on the 31st? In shorter months we use the last day of the month.
  3. Then the days left overDays since your last monthly birthday.
  4. 29 February birthdaysIn years without a 29 February, we count your birthday on 28 February.

Example: born on 15 August 2000, you're 25 years, 4 months and 17 days old on 1 January 2026.

Need your age on a specific date?

Exam and job forms often ask for your age "as on" a certain date, like 1 January or 1 August. Open More options, set Calculate age on to Another date and pick that date. You'll get your exact age on that day in years, months and days.

The Monday's child rhyme

What day of the week was I born?

Monday

Fair of face

Tuesday

Full of grace

Wednesday

Full of woe

Thursday

Has far to go

Friday

Loving and giving

Saturday

Works hard for a living

Sunday

Bonny and blithe, and good and gay

The "Monday's child" rhyme was first printed in 1838. Sunday was the Sabbath, which is why it gets the longest line.

Questions

Birthday and age calculator FAQs

Does it show my star sign and birthstone?

Yes. You'll also see your Chinese zodiac animal, birth flower and generation, which day of the year you were born, and the weekday your birthday falls on for the next few years.

Can you remind me before a birthday?

Yes. Add your email and choose when you'd like a reminder, or add the birthday to your Google, Apple or Outlook calendar so it repeats every year. For a countdown page with a theme and a note from you, try our birthday countdown.

Do you save my date of birth?

No. The calculation happens in your browser. If you ask for an email reminder, we keep only your email, the name, the birthday's day and month, and your reminder settings. Shared links carry the name, day and month, and the year only if you choose to show the age.
