How to calculate
Works out the age today, or on any date, of someone born in 2010: one number after their birthday, one less before it.
Example with the default inputs (Year you were born 2010, Age on September 29, 2026) on the example date Tuesday, September 29, 2026: Born in 2010, on September 29, 2026 the age is 15 or 16: 16 if the birthday in 2026 has come, 15 if not.
Method: Age = year of the date − birth year, once the birthday in that year has come; one less before it.
- Age counts completed years, as in everyday use: you turn 1 on your first birthday.
- Without the month and day of birth, the age on most dates is one of two numbers; on the date’s year the birthday decides which.
- Only the year is known, so in the birth year itself the age shows as 0 even on a date before the birth.
- Someone born on February 29 has a birthday on February 28 or March 1 in other years; either way, the year difference is the same.
