Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate age accurately?

Age is calculated by finding the difference between the current date and birth date. The calculation considers leap years, month lengths, and can include hours and minutes if birth time is known. Our calculator uses precise date arithmetic to ensure accuracy. For more date-related calculations, try our date calculator or time calculator.

What's the difference between chronological and biological age?

Chronological age is the actual time elapsed since birth, while biological age refers to how old your body appears and functions. Biological age can be influenced by lifestyle factors, genetics, and health conditions, and may differ significantly from chronological age.

How do leap years affect age calculation?

Leap years add an extra day (February 29th) every 4 years. This affects the total number of days in a year and can influence precise age calculations. Our calculator automatically accounts for leap years in all calculations.

Can I calculate age in different units?

Yes! Our calculator provides age in multiple units: years, months, days, hours, and minutes. You can also see the total number of weeks, and even seconds if you include birth time information.

What if I don't know my exact birth time?

If you don't know your birth time, the calculator will still provide accurate age in years, months, and days. For hours and minutes calculations, you can estimate or leave the time field blank to get approximate results.

How accurate is the age calculation?

Our age calculator is highly accurate, accounting for leap years, different month lengths, and time zones. The precision depends on the information provided - including birth time gives the most accurate results for hours and minutes calculations.
