Leap Years & Chronology
Did you know that our calendar isn't perfectly aligned with Earth's orbit? Earth takes approximately **365.24 days** to circle the Sun. To keep our seasons from drifting, we add a leap day every four years.

Age Calculator – Complete Guide to Accurate Age Calculation
An age calculator is a tool used to determine a person's exact age based on their date of birth and the current date. While calculating age may seem simple, precise age computation becomes important in many real-life scenarios such as legal documentation, medical records, employment eligibility, insurance policies, and retirement planning.
How Age Is Calculated
Age is calculated by subtracting the birth date from the current date and then adjusting for months and days. A simple year subtraction is often inaccurate because it does not account for whether the birthday has already occurred in the current year.
This calculator uses the Gregorian calendar and performs month-by-month and day-by-day adjustments to ensure accuracy, including handling leap years and varying month lengths.
Why Leap Years Matter
Leap years add an extra day to the calendar every four years to keep Earth's seasons aligned with our calendar system. Anyone born before or after February 29th experiences slight variations in total day counts that must be included in accurate age calculations.
Inclusive vs Chronological Age
In some cultures, age is counted inclusively, meaning a person is considered one year old at birth. Modern age calculation uses chronological age, which counts the number of full years that have passed since birth.
Real-World Applications
- Verifying minimum age requirements for employment.
- Determining school admission eligibility.
- Calculating retirement age.
- Medical dosage adjustments based on age.
- Insurance risk profiling.
Common Mistakes When Calculating Age
Many people mistakenly calculate age by subtracting birth year from current year without considering months and days. This often leads to errors of several months.
Another common mistake is ignoring leap years, which can result in inaccurate total day and week calculations over long periods.
