How Our Age Calculator Works

Understanding the precision and methodology behind our advanced age calculations

The Core Algorithm

1. Date Parsing & Validation

We use the advanced Temporal API to parse and validate dates with timezone awareness. This ensures accurate handling of dates across different time zones and calendar systems.

Temporal.PlainDate.from(dateString)

2. Precise Difference Calculation

Our algorithm calculates the exact difference between dates, accounting for varying month lengths and leap years using the until() method.

birthDate.until(currentDate)

Leap Year Handling

ISO/European Standard

For February 29 birthdays in non-leap years, the birthday is observed on February 28.

Example: Born Feb 29, 2020 → Birthday on Feb 28, 2021

US Legal Standard

For February 29 birthdays in non-leap years, the birthday is observed on March 1.

Example: Born Feb 29, 2020 → Birthday on Mar 1, 2021

Leap Year Detection

Years divisible by 4 are leap years, except century years unless divisible by 400.

2024: ✓ Leap | 2100: ✗ Not Leap | 2000: ✓ Leap

Step-by-Step Calculation Process

1

Input Validation

Validate date formats and ensure birth date is not in the future.

2

TimeZone Conversion

Convert dates to the specified timezone for accurate local calculations.

3

Calculate Duration

Compute years, months, and days between birth date and target date.

4

Apply Leap Policy

Apply the selected leap year policy for February 29 birthdays if applicable.

5

Calculate Totals

Convert to total days, weeks, hours, minutes, and seconds lived.

6

Next Birthday

Calculate the next birthday date and days remaining until that date.

Premature Baby Corrected Age

For premature infants, we calculate corrected age by adjusting for the number of weeks born before 40 weeks gestation:

Corrected Age = Chronological Age - (40 - Gestational Age)

This provides a more accurate developmental age for premature babies, important for medical assessments and milestone tracking.

Month Calculations

We provide two types of month calculations for different use cases:

  • •
    Complete Months:Full calendar months that have passed
  • •
    Decimal Months:Based on average month length (30.437 days)

Technical Implementation

Temporal API

Modern date/time handling with built-in timezone support and precise calculations.

TypeScript

Type-safe implementation ensuring reliable and error-free calculations.

Zod Validation

Runtime validation ensuring all inputs meet strict criteria before processing.

Accuracy Guarantee

Our calculations are accurate to the second, accounting for all calendar complexities including leap years, daylight saving time, and varying month lengths. Trusted by developers and professionals worldwide.
