How to read the tables
- Age after birthday: your age if this year’s birthday has already passed; it is the current year minus the birth year.
- Before birthday: your age if the birthday is still to come, one year less.
- Last column: the matching years in the other calendar. A Gregorian year overlaps two Hijri years, and the other way round.
The ages update automatically at the start of each Gregorian or Hijri year.
Why the Hijri age is higher
A Hijri year is about 11 days shorter than a Gregorian year, so the difference adds up to about one extra Hijri year every 33 years. That is why a Hijri age can be a year or more higher. See Why your Hijri age is higher than your Gregorian age.
Need your exact age?
The tables give whole years only. For your age in years, months and days and the countdown to your next birthday, use the Age Calculator, or the Hijri Age Calculator for a Hijri birth date. If you know an age and need the birth year, use the Birth Date & Weekday Calculator.
