"Years ago" counts calendar years. For an exact answer to the day, enter the full date above.

How it works

Enter a year, and a month and day if you know them. The calculator counts whole years first, then whole months, then the days left over, the same way you'd work out someone's age. It also shows the total in months, weeks, days and hours.

If you leave the month and day as January 1, the answer is the time since the start of that year. For a year in the future it shows how long there is to go instead.

Everything is worked out in your browser, using your own time zone. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere.
