How the time together is counted
The calculator counts full calendar years from your start date, then full months after the latest anniversary, then the remaining days, the same way ages are counted. Total days are the calendar days between the two dates (the start day is not counted twice). The next anniversary is the same month and day in the following year; a February 29 date moves to February 28 or March 1 in common years.
