Frequently Asked Questions
How does the calculator handle leap years?
Leap years add a 29th day to February every 4 years (unless divisible by 100 and not by 400). Our algorithm accounts for each exact leap day occurred throughout your lifespan.
Can I calculate age on a future date?
Yes. Simply change the target date input to any future date to discover exactly how old you will be at retirement, graduation, or a special anniversary.
