Questions
What age counts as legally an adult?
In most countries the age of majority is 18, and that is what this calculator counts to. Cornell's Legal Information Institute lists the exceptions in the United States: Alabama and Nebraska set it at 19, Mississippi at 21.
When is my 18th birthday if I was born on 29 February?
This calculator follows the common-law reading and counts to 1 March, because the eighteenth year is never a leap year for a leap-day birth. German law reads it the other way: under § 188 (3) BGB the deadline falls on 28 February, one day earlier.
What year will I turn 18 if I was born in 2010?
In 2028 — add 18 to the birth year. The exact day is the same day and month, so 15 June 2010 becomes 15 June 2028.
What happens if I am already 18?
The answer is 0 days, never a negative number, because a countdown that has run out has no further reading. Use the age calculator to see how long ago the birthday was.
Does the count adjust for my time zone?
No, and it does not need to. The calculator works in whole calendar days in UTC, so no time zone and no daylight-saving change can shift the answer by a day.
