What Is Age Calculator?
The Age Calculator determines your precise age from your date of birth, displaying the result in years, months, and days. Beyond the basic breakdown, it shows total days lived, total weeks, total months, total hours, your birth day of the week, zodiac sign, and a countdown to your next birthday. The reference date can be changed to calculate your age on any specific date, past or future. This makes it useful for historical research, age verification, pension calculations, and insurance applications. The calculator uses proper calendar arithmetic that accounts for varying month lengths and leap years, ensuring accuracy down to the day.

Technical Guide
The age calculation uses calendar-based arithmetic rather than simple division by 365.25. Starting from the year difference, it adjusts for months and days by checking if the current month/day has passed the birth month/day. When the day difference is negative, it borrows from the previous month using that month's actual length (28-31 days). The zodiac sign is determined by checking the birth month and day against the standard astrological date ranges. The next birthday calculation finds the next occurrence of the birth month/day, rolling to the next year if the current year's birthday has already passed. All calculations use the local timezone to match the user's calendar perception.
