Understanding Age Calculation Methods
Different cultures calculate age differently. Our calculator uses the most common Western method:
- Your age increases by one on each birthday
- Months are calculated based on calendar months, not 30-day periods
- Leap years and varying month lengths are accounted for
This differs from some Asian age-counting systems where you're considered one year old at birth and gain a year on each New Year.
