How the Age Calculator Works — The Formula

Age is calculated by finding the difference between the birth date and the reference date (today) in years, months, and days using the proleptic Gregorian calendar. The calculation correctly handles February 29 birthdays — in non-leap years, the birthday is treated as March 1.

Age = (Reference Date) − (Birth Date) Years = complete 12-month periods elapsed Months = complete calendar months after last birthday year Days = remaining days after last complete month Total Days = JDN(Reference Date) − JDN(Birth Date) Days to Next Birthday = JDN(Next Birthday) − JDN(Today)

Formula validated by Vipul Jaganiya, Computer Science expert in Calendar Mathematics and Timezone Engineering. Leap day birthdays (Feb 29) use March 1 convention in non-leap years, matching most legal jurisdictions.
