FAQ
- How do I work out age in months?
- Count each whole month from the birth date to today, then add the leftover days. The tool does this and also gives the running total in months.
- Why must the birth date come first?
- Age counts forward from birth, so the reference date has to be on or after the birth date. If it is earlier, the tool asks you to check the dates.
