HOW OLD YOU ARE, WORKED OUT

Knowing the birth month narrows your age to a single number for most of the year. Subtract 1980 from the current year; if today is on or after your December birthday you are that figure, and if it is before, you are one year younger. Because December birthdays fall later in the year, anyone born in December 1980 is 65 in 2046. For an exact age in years, months and days, enter your full date of birth into the calculator above — it counts real calendar days, including every 29 February.
