Calendar Mathematics & Spec Reference
| Metric / Standard | Calculation Rule | Edge Case Handling |
|---|---|---|
| Gregorian Year | 365 days in common years, 366 days in leap years. | Leap year occurs every 4 years, except century years unless divisible by 400. |
| February 29 Birthdays | Celebrated on March 1 in non-leap years. | Full year completes on March 1 (or Feb 28 depending on statutory jurisdiction). |
| Day Borrowing | Target day minus birth day. When negative, borrows from prior month. | Borrows the exact length (28, 29, 30, or 31 days) of the specific prior month. |
| Next Birthday | Upcoming anniversary date relative to the target date. | Recalculates weekday and countdown in days and hours. |

Frequently Asked Questions
The calculator strictly adheres to the Gregorian calendar standard. For individuals born on February 29 (a leap day), their chronological age in common non-leap years increments on March 1 (or February 28 under specific statutory jurisdictions), and exact day-counts adjust for the 366-day leap year length.
Chronological age represents the calendar breakdown of full years, months, and days elapsed since birth. Decimal age expresses total elapsed time as a single floating-point number of years (total elapsed days divided by the tropical year average of 365.2425 days).
Discrepancies occur when tools use an arbitrary 30-day month average rather than borrowing the actual number of days from the specific calendar month immediately preceding the target date. AWSM Tools calculates the exact day count of each intervening calendar month.
