How to Calculate Chronological Age Manually

While our calculator automates the process, understanding manual calculation helps verify results and understand the methodology.

Step-by-Step Manual Process

Step 1: Calculate Years

Subtract birth year from test year. If test month/day hasn't occurred yet, subtract 1 year.

Step 2: Calculate Months

Subtract birth month from test month. If negative, add 12 and adjust years.

Step 3: Calculate Days

Subtract birth day from test day. If negative, borrow days from previous month.

Step 4: Adjust for Leap Years

Account for February 29th in leap years when calculating across date boundaries.

Manual Calculation Example

Birth Date: March 15, 2015

Test Date: September 10, 2024

Years: 2024 - 2015 = 9 years

Months: September (9) - March (3) = 6 months

Days: 10 - 15 = -5 days

→ Borrow from August (31 days): 31 + 10 - 15 = 26 days

→ Adjust months: 6 - 1 = 5 months

Final Result: 9 years, 5 months, 26 days
