Different Methods to Calculate Age: From Birth to Now

Why Calculate Age?

Age calculation is needed for various purposes: filling forms, determining eligibility for services, planning celebrations, or simply satisfying curiosity about exact age in different units.

Manual Age Calculation

To calculate age manually:

1. Subtract birth year from current year
2. If birthday hasn't occurred this year, subtract 1
3. For months: Calculate difference in months, adjusting for day of month
4. For days: Count days between dates, accounting for varying month lengths

Challenges in Age Calculation

• Leap years add complexity
• Months have different numbers of days
• Time zones can affect results
• Calculating in multiple units (years, months, days, hours) is tedious

Age in Different Cultures

Some cultures calculate age differently. In Korea, babies are considered 1 year old at birth. In China, age increases on Chinese New Year rather than birthdays.
