Age Gap Calculator
This age gap calculator computes the difference in age between two people using their birthdates. It shows how many years, months, and days separate two birthdays without manual subtraction.
Formula
The age gap is calculated by finding the absolute difference between two dates. The calculation subtracts the earlier date from the later date, then converts the result into complete years, remaining months, and remaining days.
Worked Example
If one person was born on January 10, 1990 and the other on March 25, 1995, the later birthdate is compared to the earlier one. The resulting difference is 5 years, 2 months, and 15 days after adjusting for incomplete months and days.
Common Use Cases
This calculator is commonly used for relationship age comparisons, eligibility checks with age gap limits, and demographic analysis. It is also useful for record verification and general date difference assessments.
Limitations
The calculation relies on the Gregorian calendar and standard system date handling. It does not account for time-of-day differences or historical calendar variations.
