Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the month/day vary by calculation method?

Different calculation methods handle month boundaries differently. Our calendar-exact method counts actual days, while some methods use average month lengths. We use precise calendar arithmetic for accuracy.

Can I include time of birth for more precision?

Yes, use the Advanced section to include your birth time. This provides age calculations down to hours, minutes, and seconds for maximum precision.

How do past vs future reference dates work?

You can set any reference date to see your age on that specific date. Past dates show historical age, future dates show projected age.

Do timezone differences affect the calculation?

For date-level precision, timezone differences typically don't matter. However, if you include birth time, timezone can affect calculations by a few hours.

Is my birth date information stored anywhere?

No, all calculations are performed entirely in your browser. No personal birth information is stored or transmitted to our servers.
