The method, explained
Subtract birth year from comparison year, then subtract one if the birthday has not yet occurred. For February 29 birthdays, this tool uses February 28 in non-leap years.
Someone born on June 15, 1996 is 30 on June 15, 2026, and 29 on June 14, 2026.
Understanding your result
The answer counts completed birthdays on the chosen date. Use the age-on date for a historical or future comparison; this tool does not determine legal eligibility.
What to keep in mind
This is calendar arithmetic, not a legal age determination. Leap-day birthday rules differ by jurisdiction. Dates are processed without time zones.
Common questions
What does completed years mean?
It counts full birthdays that have passed, rather than rounding partial years.
How are leap-day birthdays handled?
February 29 is treated as February 28 in a non-leap comparison year. Legal conventions may differ.
