What Is Chronological Age Calculator?
The Chronological Age Calculator determines your precise age from your date (and optionally time) of birth. It's designed for contexts where exact age matters — medical assessments, educational placement, insurance calculations, and pension planning. The tool displays your age in years, months, and days, plus a decimal age (used in medical and educational contexts), total days/weeks/months/hours/minutes/seconds lived, your birth day of the week, your generational cohort (Gen Z, Millennial, etc.), and a countdown to your next birthday. Enabling the birth time option adds hour-level precision to all calculations. All computation runs client-side for complete privacy.

Technical Guide
The chronological age calculation uses calendar arithmetic, comparing the birth date to the current date component by component. The year difference is adjusted down by one if the current month/day hasn't reached the birth month/day yet. Month and day remainders use the same borrowing logic as the standard age calculator. The decimal age divides total days by 365.25 (the average Gregorian year length including leap years) and rounds to 2 decimal places. When birth time is enabled, the reference changes from midnight to the specific birth time, and all total-unit calculations use the more precise millisecond difference. Generation classification uses standard year ranges: Silent Generation (1928-1945), Baby Boomers (1946-1964), Gen X (1965-1980), Millennials (1981-1996), Gen Z (1997-2012), Gen Alpha (2013+).
