What Is This Tool?
The Age Calculator works out exactly how old you are between any two dates. Enter your date of birth and an 'age at' date, and it returns your age broken down into years, months, weeks, and days, along with the elapsed time expressed as total months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Quick yesterday, today, and tomorrow buttons make it easy to set the second date, and two month calendars highlight the start and end days. The result can be downloaded as a PDF.
