Age Calculatorv1.0.0
Subtracts a date of birth from a reference date to return age as years/months/days/weeks plus the same total in years, days, hours, and minutes. A reverse mode computes the date of birth from a known age (years, months, days) and an On This Date anchor. Optional time-of-day input (HH:MM, 12-hour or 24-hour) refines the result to the minute, and a next-birthday countdown is included.

Does the calculator handle leap years? Yes. The tool applies standard leap year rules and adjusts Feb 29 anniversaries to Feb 28 in non-leap years when appropriate.
Can I enter time in 12-hour or 24-hour format? Yes. Enter HH:MM and optionally select AM or PM. The tool also accepts 24-hour entries without AM or PM.
What if I only know the year and month? Provide the most complete date available. For legal or medical use, consider supplying full month, day, and year to avoid ambiguity.
Can I reverse-calculate a birth date from an age? Yes. Switch to Date of Birth mode, enter the age and the reference date, then calculate.
Why do I see different totals for calendar vs absolute time? Calendar results follow months and days as they occur on the calendar, while absolute results convert the entire span into uniform units such as days or minutes.
