Common uses

• Calculating your exact age for a form, application, or official document
• Finding how many days you have lived as a fun personal milestone
• Counting down the days until your next birthday or a friend's birthday, or estimate a pregnancy due date from a known conception date
• Verifying someone's age eligibility (voting, driving, retirement) alongside a tool that counts days between two dates

Technical specification

• Algorithm or formula: Calendar difference using the Gregorian calendar. Years and months are decremented when the end day-of-month precedes the start day-of-month, then remaining days are taken from the prior month length. Hours, minutes, and weekday derive from JavaScript Date arithmetic.
• Browser API or library: Native JavaScript Date and Intl.DateTimeFormat. No external library.
• Input limits: Any date the browser Date object accepts (roughly -271,821 to +275,760 CE). Practical use covers any human lifespan.
• Output: Plain text values displayed in the page. Includes years, months, days, total days, total hours, next birthday date, weekday of birth.
• Known limitations: Does not account for time zone changes around the moment of birth. Months are treated as variable-length calendar units, not a fixed 30 days.
