Pearson Age Calculator

Have you ever wondered exactly how old you are—not just in years, but in months, days, or even the total number of days you’ve lived? Whether you’re planning a birthday, filling out a form, or just curious, our free Age Calculator makes it easy to find out your precise age from any birth date to any chosen date.

This simple yet powerful online tool calculates your age in years, months, days, and total days lived, based on the date of birth and an optional calculation date. It’s perfect for personal use, administrative tasks, or even planning life milestones.


What Is the Age Calculator?

The Age Calculator is a web-based utility that instantly calculates how much time has passed between a given birth date and a selected calculation date (or today’s date if none is selected). It breaks down your age into four metrics:

  • Years: Complete years lived
  • Months: Additional full months since your last birthday
  • Days: Days since your last completed month
  • Total Days: The total number of days from your birth to the selected date

It’s not just a rough estimate—it’s accurate to the exact day.

Using this calculator is quick and easy. Here’s how:

1. Enter Your Date of Birth

Choose your birth date from the calendar input. This is a required field.

2. Enter a Calculation Date (Optional)

By default, the calculator uses today’s date. However, you can select any other date to calculate age at a specific time in the past or future.

3. Click “Calculate”

Once the necessary fields are filled out, hit the “Calculate” button. The tool instantly processes the data and displays your results below.

4. View Your Results

Practical Examples

Example 1: Calculate a Child’s Age

Let’s say a child was born on March 12, 2018, and you want to find out how old they are as of May 31, 2025.

  • Years: 7
  • Months: 2
  • Days: 19
  • Total Days: 2,638 days

This breakdown is especially useful for school admissions or pediatric growth tracking.


Example 2: Countdown to a Milestone Birthday

If your birthday is December 1, 1990, and today is May 31, 2025, you can quickly calculate how far you are from your next major birthday (e.g., your 35th birthday in 2025).

  • Current Age: 34 years, 6 months
  • You’re about 6 months away from turning 35.
