Age Calculation Formula:
From: | To: |
The Age Calculator With Time precisely calculates age down to the second by computing the difference between current time and birth time, then converting it to years using the exact length of a solar year (365.25 days).
The calculator uses the following formula:
Where:
Explanation: The equation calculates the exact time difference in seconds, then converts it to years accounting for leap years.
Details: Precise age calculation is important for medical applications, legal documentation, scientific research, and any scenario where exact age matters down to minutes or seconds.
Tips: Enter both birth date/time and current date/time. The current time defaults to the present moment. For maximum accuracy, use the exact time of birth if known.
Q1: Why use 365.25 days for a year?
A: This accounts for leap years, making the calculation more accurate over long periods.
Q2: How precise is this calculator?
A: It calculates age down to the second, providing up to 8 decimal places for the year value.
Q3: What's the advantage over simple year subtraction?
A: It accounts for exact days and time of birth, not just calendar years, and properly handles leap years.
Q4: Can I calculate age at a specific past date?
A: Yes, enter any past date/time as the "current time" to see what the age was at that moment.
Q5: Does this work for future dates?
A: No, the calculator will show an error if the current date is before the birth date.
