Age Calculator

Enter a date of birth to get an exact age in years, months and days — as of today, or as of any other date you choose.

Date of Birth

Age as of

Defaults to today. Change it to an exam's cutoff date to check your age on that date.

Example

Someone born on 15 August 2000, checking their age as of 25 July 2026, would see 25 years, 11 months, 10 days — their next birthday (15 August 2026) is still 21 days away, so the completed-years count hasn't ticked over to 26 yet.

Common uses

Checking your age as of a government exam's cutoff date
School or college admission age-eligibility cutoffs
Filling age fields on forms, IDs and applications accurately
Counting down the days to your next birthday

For SSC, UPSC, Police, Defence and other government recruitment: enter the official cutoff date mentioned in the recruitment notification to calculate your age on that date. This calculator only computes age — it does not confirm eligibility. Always verify age-limit and relaxation rules against the specific notification, or use the Eligibility Checker. Browse current job notifications to find the official cutoff date for a specific vacancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is my age calculated?

Your age is calculated by comparing your date of birth to the "age as of" date (today, by default) as calendar dates — completed years first, then the remaining completed months, then the remaining days.

Can I calculate my age as of a future or past date, such as an exam cutoff date?

Yes. Change the "Age as of" field to any date — for example, the cutoff date printed in a recruitment notification — to see your age exactly as of that date.

What happens if I was born on 29 February?

Your age still calculates correctly every year. Since 29 February does not exist in a non-leap year, that year’s birthday is treated as falling on 28 February instead — the calculator and the next-birthday countdown always agree with each other, in leap years and non-leap years alike. This is a calendar convention for this calculator only, not a universal legal or recruitment rule — official notifications may define a 29 February birthday differently, so always follow the applicable notice.

Does this calculator confirm my eligibility for a government exam?

No. It only calculates age. Always check the official notification for the exact cutoff date and age-relaxation rules, or use the eligibility checker alongside it.
