Many forms ask for your age on a particular date, such as the last day to apply for an exam or a job. Counting by hand is error prone because months have different lengths.
How age is counted
Your age in years increases on your birthday. The months and days are counted from your last birthday. Someone born on 15 June 1990 is 33 years, 11 months and 30 days old on 14 June 2024, one day before their 34th birthday.
How to use the calculator
- Open Age Calculator and pick your date of birth.
- Leave the second date as today, or choose another date, such as an application deadline.

Where it helps
- Exam and job forms with an age limit on a cut-off date.
- School admission, which often depends on age on 31 March or 1 April.
- Insurance and retirement planning.
- Finding how many days old you are, just for fun.
