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.

How to use this tool

Enter the child's date of birth and set calculation date to the district's 'age as of' date. Compare result to minimum age rules.

Worked example

Example: born August 20, 2020, cutoff September 1, 2026 → 6 years, 0 months, 12 days (verify district rules separately).

When to use this

  • Kindergarten or pre-K eligibility checks.
  • Sports league age divisions.
  • Gifted program age windows.

Common examples

  • Born March 15, 1990 → age on July 7, 2026 is 36 years, 3 months, 23 days.
