Age Difference
How Does It Work?
The Age Difference Calculator uses a straightforward formula to determine the difference between two dates. Here’s the breakdown:
- First, it calculates the difference in years by subtracting the years of the two birthdates.
- Next, it adjusts for months and days to ensure accuracy, even if the second date hasn’t reached the same month or day as the first.
- Finally, it combines the results to give you the exact age difference in years, months, and days.
For example, if you were born on January 15, 1990, and your friend was born on March 10, 1985, the tool would calculate a difference of 4 years, 1 month, and 25 days. Easy, right?
