What is an Age Calculator?
An age calculator computes a person's exact age in years, months, and days from their date of birth. It can also calculate age at a specific date, days until next birthday, and birth day of the week. Our tool runs entirely in your browser.
Age calculation is needed in many contexts: verifying age requirements for services and regulations, calculating exact age for insurance and medical forms, determining eligibility based on age cutoffs, planning birthday celebrations, and understanding age-related milestones.
This tool is useful for HR professionals verifying employee ages for benefits eligibility, healthcare workers calculating patient ages for medical protocols, legal professionals determining age of majority and eligibility dates, parents tracking children's ages for school enrollment cutoffs, and anyone who wants to know their exact age in years, months, days, or even hours and minutes.
Compared to manual calculation (which must account for varying month lengths and leap years), spreadsheet formulas (complex DATEDIF functions), or online calculators with advertisements, PureXio provides clean, accurate age calculation with multiple output formats.
The tool shows age in years, months, and days (e.g., '32 years, 5 months, 14 days'), total days alive, upcoming birthday with countdown, birth day of the week, and supports calculating age at any specific historical or future date. It correctly handles leap years, February 29 birthdays, and varying month lengths.
Best for: calculating exact age from date of birth. Shows years, months, days, total days. Birthday countdown, day of week. Leap year accurate.

Features
Limitations & Constraints
Age calculation is based on calendar dates—doesn't account for time of birth (only date)
Very old birthdates (before 1900) may have limited accuracy
Age is calculated in standard calendar years—doesn't account for different calendar systems
Time zone differences are not considered—uses local date
Age calculation assumes standard month lengths—leap years are handled correctly
Troubleshooting
Age calculation shows wrong result
Solution: Check that birthdate is entered correctly. Ensure date format is correct (YYYY-MM-DD). Verify birthdate is not in the future. Age is calculated from birthdate to today's date. If result seems wrong, verify birthdate is correct. Prevention: Double-check birthdate entry and ensure it's not a future date.
Age shows negative months or days
Solution: This shouldn't happen with correct birthdate entry. If you see negative values, the birthdate may be incorrect or in the future. Ensure birthdate is a valid past date. The tool calculates age correctly from past dates to today. Prevention: Verify birthdate is a valid past date.
Days until birthday seems wrong
Solution: Days until birthday is calculated from today to next birthday. If birthday has already passed this year, it shows days until next year's birthday. Verify birthdate is correct. The calculation accounts for leap years. Prevention: Understand that days until birthday resets after birthday passes.
Age calculation for leap year birthdate
Solution: The tool handles leap year birthdays correctly. If you were born on February 29, the tool calculates age correctly. On non-leap years, February 28 is used for age calculation. This is standard behavior for leap year birthdays. Prevention: Understand leap year birthday handling.
Need to calculate age in different time zones
Solution: The tool uses local date/time for calculations. It doesn't account for time zone differences. For precise age calculations with time zones, use specialized time zone calculators or account for time zone differences manually. Prevention: Understand that age is calculated using local date.
