This school age calculator shows a child's exact age on a district cutoff date—often September 1 or local equivalents. Enter date of birth and the school's age-as-of date to see years, months, and days for enrollment decisions.
Districts define cutoff dates differently—always confirm the exact date and minimum age with your school district.
