What is chronological age? What is biological age?
The chronological age is defined as the age of you, a company, a place, etc., since the day you were born, the opening day, or the day of construction. This age is different from the biological age.
The biological age refers to how old your body is, considering the cumulative effects of genetics, lifestyle, environment, disease, and cellular processes on your body’s systems.
It is relevant to point out that the chronological age can have a direct influence over personal development decisions, such as planning for retirement, social security, and health security. Therefore, this exact age calculator is an essential tool for your age-related goals.
How is chronological age calculated?
Calculating your chronological age might be quite a task if you intend to do it manually. Subtracting years and months is the easy part. You also need to think about weeks and days.
Remember that the number of days is not the same for all the months of the year! February is the trickiest month when it comes to calculations. Every four years, it takes a value of 29 instead of 28 days. Each year that can be divided by four without a remainder (for example, 2020 /4 = 505) gives us precisely one more extra day (except for years that divide perfectly by 100, but not those that are also perfectly divisible by 400...).
The easiest way to calculate your time spent on Earth in days:
time = (years * 365) + (months * 31) + days
Explanation:
- Years - How old are you?
- Months - How many full months have passed since your last birthday?
- Days - How many days have already passed in the current month?
If you want to get the exact number of hours, minutes, or seconds you've been alive, you need to multiply the number of days you've calculated by the following numbers:
- To get the number of hours, use this formula:
Number of days × 24
- To get the number of minutes, you need to use this formula:
Number of days × 1440
- To get the number of seconds, do this:
Number of days × 86,400
Why don't you check how long you have to wait until your next birthday with the age calculator?
Calculating chronological age manually
You may ask, "How do I know my chronological age?" Well, it is easy. Here is how you calculate chronological age:
Suppose you were born on March 2, 1999, and you want to compute your chronological age on May 6, 2025. To derive the correct final answer, follow the steps below:
- Subtract the years:
2025 - 1999 = 26 years
; - Subtract the months:
Current month - Birth month = 5 - 3 = 2
; - Subtract the days:
Current day - Birth day = 6 - 2 = 4
. - Your chronological age until May 6, 2025, is: 26 years, 2 months and 4 days.
You can also follow the same process to determine the total days lived among these dates. In this case:
- Compute the days in the total number of years:
26 × 365 = 9490
; - Add the leap days:
7 + 9490 = 9497
; - Add the days from the last birthday until the desired date:
29 + 30 + 6 + 9497 = 65 + 9497 = 9562
- Then, your final answer is
9562 days
.
Of course, you can find these results instantaneously using Omni's chronological age calculator.

Our chronological age calculator is simple and intuitive to use. If you want to compute the chronological age, just follow the steps below:
