Formula & Theory — Actual Age Calculator
ymd = diffYMD(birth, target)
diffMs = target − birth
totalSec = floor(diffMs / 1000)
totalMin = floor(totalSec / 60)
totalHours = floor(totalMin / 60)
totalDays = floor(totalHours / 24)
totalWeeks = floor(totalDays / 7)
totalMonths = years × 12 + months| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| birth | Birth date and time |
| target | Target moment |
| diffMs | Milliseconds difference |
| totalSec | Total seconds lived |
| totalMin | Total minutes lived |
| totalHours | Total hours lived |
The Actual Age Calculator uses milliseconds for hour/minute/second totals, ensuring precision down to the second.
