How we compute age on a past date
Age on a date is the same as “how old am I today” but anchored to the target date. We normalize both dates to local midnight, then subtract with calendar borrowing — not by dividing days by 30.44. This avoids the ±2-day drift of naïve calculators and respects Feb 29 (mapped to Feb 28 in non-leap years for the next-birthday side). Total days = round((target@midnight − birth@midnight) / 86400000); years/months/days via the borrowing walk.

How old was someone born on 2012-03-15 on 2012-12-21?
They were 0 years, 9 months, 6 days old — 281 days total, 40 weeks.
How is age on a past date calculated?
Same calendar borrowing: subtract birth Y/M/D from the target date, borrowing days from the true previous-month length, normalized to local midnight.
Can I use this for school or test forms?
Yes — set the asOf date to the exam date and read Y;M;D directly. The shareable URL (?dob & asOf) serves as a record.
Does Feb 29 affect the result?
Feb 29 birthdays are mapped to Feb 28 in common years for the next-birthday side; elapsed days remain exact. Born Feb 29? Your age on a common-year Feb 28 is computed correctly.
Why does this differ from average-month calculators?
Average-month divides by 30.44 and drifts ±2 days. Borrowing uses the real previous month length (28/29/30/31) so Feb and 31-day months are exact.
