Formula and example
How it is calculated
Completed years = year difference minus one if the birthday has not yet occurred by the reference date
Worked example
From 15 June 1990 to 14 June 2026, 35 complete years have passed. On 15 June, the age is 36.
Things to check
- For a birthday on 29 February, the anniversary is treated as 1 March in a non-leap year. This calculation convention does not replace legal age or deadline rules.
