Calendar Subtraction Logic
To count age from date of birth:
- Subtract birth year from current year: $\Delta Y = Y_t - Y_b$.
- If current month $M_t < M_b$ (or $M_t == M_b$ and $D_t < D_b$), decrement $\Delta Y$ by 1.
- Calculate remaining months and borrow days from the prior month if $D_t < D_b$.
Why Simple Division ($\div 365$) is Inaccurate
A year is not exactly 365 days; every four years introduces a leap day (average year = 365.2425 days). Dividing total days by 365 causes artificial day shifts and birthday calculation errors. Our birthday date to age calculator handles calendar months authentically.
