How is exact age calculated?
Count whole years from the birth date to today, then whole months, then the remaining days. Someone born on 15 March 1990 is 36 years, 5 months and 5 days old on 20 August 2026. A year only counts once the birthday has passed.
When do people born on 29 February have a birthday?
In ordinary years on 28 February or 1 March; legally in Latvia adulthood begins on 1 March, since the day only completes after that. Age calculations usually assume 28 February, and the difference is one day every four years.
How many days are left until the next birthday?
Count from today to the next occurrence of the birth date, or to next year's if this year's has passed. If 29 February falls in between, the count gains a day, which is why the calculator uses the real calendar rather than assuming 365 days.
Why do calculators disagree on age in days?
Because some assume a 365-day year and a thirty-day month, which over decades accumulates an error of several days. This calculator walks the real calendar with every leap year, so its answer matches the plain date difference.
