Free Age Calculator by Date of Birth, with Exam Age Limit

How your age is worked out

We count whole months from your date of birth up to the date you choose, then the days left over. Twelve months make a year.

Example: born on 15 January 2000, on 1 August 2026 you are 26 years, 6 months and 17 days.

Exam age limits: most notices mean you must have reached the lowest age, and must not yet have reached the highest age, on the date they name. A limit of 18 to 27 usually means 26 years, 11 months and 30 days is within it, and 27 years exactly is not. Many notices also print the exact birth dates allowed, and those come first.

Enter the relaxation for your category from the notice itself, because it changes between exams. This tool does not decide if you are eligible: the notification does.
