C# calculate accurate age

anyone know how to get the age based on a date(birthdate) im thinking of something like this string age = DateTi开发者_如何转开发me.Now.GetAccurateAge();

anyone know how to get the age based on a date(birthdate)

im thinking of something like this

string age = DateTi开发者_如何转开发me.Now.GetAccurateAge();

and the output will be some thing like 20Years 5Months 20Days


public static class DateTimeExtensions
{
    public static string ToAgeString(this DateTime dob)
    {
        DateTime today = DateTime.Today;

        int months = today.Month - dob.Month;
        int years = today.Year - dob.Year;

        if (today.Day < dob.Day)
        {
            months--;
        }

        if (months < 0)
        {
            years--;
            months += 12;
        }

        int days = (today - dob.AddMonths((years * 12) + months)).Days;

        return string.Format("{0} year{1}, {2} month{3} and {4} day{5}",
                             years, (years == 1) ? "" : "s",
                             months, (months == 1) ? "" : "s",
                             days, (days == 1) ? "" : "s");
    }
}


See the answers at How do I calculate someone’s age in C#? for ideas.


Not certain that it would always be correct (haven't thought about if there's some cases with leap years etc that might make it fail...), but this is an easy way to get out the year and month:

DateTime bd = DateTime.Parse("2009-06-17");
TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Now.Subtract(bd);
DateTime age = DateTime.MinValue + ts;
string s = string.Format("{0} Years {1} months {2} days", age.Year -1 , age.Month - 1, age.Day - 1);


Since i can't post code to a comment, here it is the code based on @LukeH answer, with the bug fixed

public static int GetAge( DateTime dob, DateTime today, out int days, out int months ) {
        DateTime dt = today;
        if( dt.Day < dob.Day ) {
            dt = dt.AddMonths( -1 );
        }

        months = dt.Month - dob.Month;
        if( months < 0 ) {
            dt = dt.AddYears( -1 );
            months += 12;
        }

        int years = dt.Year - dob.Year;
        var offs = dob.AddMonths( years * 12 + months );
        days = (int)( ( today.Ticks - offs.Ticks ) / TimeSpan.TicksPerDay );
        return years;
    }


My answer is not exactly an answer; it is a way to find an answer in this and similar threads. The correct answer has already been provided by LukeH, and my 2 cents here is for anyone that want to know which is the more correct answer*.

*more correct because, as you saw in several discussions and comments scattered around, we have to compromise with some preconditions in leap years - dob is 1-mar or 28-feb in normal years?

I'm using as benchmark this and this other sites that do that, and my brain too ;)

I implemented LukeH, @Panos Theof and @xr280xr answers here:

public static class DateTimeExtensions

    public static int HowOld(this DateTime initialDay, DateTime dayToCalculate, out int days, out int months)

        //LukeH: essentially right
        months = dayToCalculate.Month - initialDay.Month;
        int years = dayToCalculate.Year - initialDay.Year;

        if (dayToCalculate.Day < initialDay.Day)
        {
            months--;
        }

        if (months < 0)

        }

        {
            dayToCalculate = dayToCalculate.AddYears(-1);
            months += 12;
        }
        years = dayToCalculate.Year - initialDay.Year;

        return years;
    }
}

Using VS2019 and XUnit I create an Inlinedata generator Class:

   public class CalculatorTestData : IEnumerable<object[]>
            public IEnumerator<object[]> GetEnumerator()
            {
                yield return new object[] { new DateTime(1966, 7, 27), new DateTime(2020, 7, 26), 53, 11, 29 };
                yield return new object[] { new DateTime(1966, 7, 27), new DateTime(2020, 7, 27), 54, 0, 0 };
                yield return new object[] { new DateTime(1966, 7, 27), new DateTime(2020, 7, 28), 54, 0, 1 };
                yield return new object[] { new DateTime(1968, 2, 29), new DateTime(2020, 2, 28), 51, 11, 30 };
                yield return new object[] { new DateTime(1968, 2, 29), new DateTime(2020, 2, 29), 52, 0, 0 };
                yield return new object[] { new DateTime(1968, 2, 29), new DateTime(2020, 3, 01), 52, 0, 1 };
                yield return new object[] { new DateTime(2016, 2, 29), new DateTime(2017, 2, 28), 0, 11, 30 };
            }

            IEnumerator<object[]> IEnumerable<object[]>.GetEnumerator() => GetEnumerator();
            IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()
            {
                return GetEnumerator();
            }
        }

And setup for the three methods:

    public class CalculatorTestData : IEnumerable<object[]>
    { 
        public IEnumerator<object[]> GetEnumerator()
        {
            //https://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html?d1=27&m1=07&y1=1966&d2=26&m2=07&y2=2020
            // (both 28/02 and 29/02 produce 52, 0, 0)
            // (01/03 yields 52, 0, 2 !!!???)
            // (Feb 29, 2016 and Feb 28, 2017 => 1 y, 0 m, 1 d!!!???)

            //https://www.calculator.net/date-calculator.html
            //^^^^ (only 28/02 produces 52, 0, 0; others right)
            // (Feb 29, 2016 and Feb 28, 2017 => 11 m, 30 d)
            yield return new object[] { new DateTime(1966, 7, 27), new DateTime(2020, 7, 26), 53, 11, 29 };
            yield return new object[] { new DateTime(1966, 7, 27), new DateTime(2020, 7, 27), 54, 0, 0 };
            yield return new object[] { new DateTime(1966, 7, 27), new DateTime(2020, 7, 28), 54, 0, 1 };
            yield return new object[] { new DateTime(1968, 2, 29), new DateTime(2020, 2, 28), 51, 11, 30 };
            yield return new object[] { new DateTime(1968, 2, 29), new DateTime(2020, 2, 29), 52, 0, 0 };
            yield return new object[] { new DateTime(1968, 2, 29), new DateTime(2020, 3, 01), 52, 0, 1 };
            yield return new object[] { new DateTime(2016, 2, 29), new DateTime(2017, 2, 28), 0, 11, 30 };
        }

        IEnumerator<object[]> IEnumerable<object[]>.GetEnumerator() => GetEnumerator();
        IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()
        {
            return GetEnumerator();
        }
    }

        Assert.Equal(resultMonths, expectedMonths);
        Assert.Equal(resultDays, expectedDays);

    }

The expected results are on the InlineData Class, of course.

The output results are:

C# calculate accurate age

So, LukeH and @Panos Theof has the correct answer. And, for my surprise, both sites disagree for leap DOB, and IMHO Calculator.net is correct, and timeanddate.com plainly wrong, producing this error outputs:

For DOB Feb 29:

  • both 28/02 and 29/02 produce 52, 0, 0 (?!)

  • 01/03 yields 52, 0, 2 (!!!???)

  • Feb 29, 2016 => Feb 28, 2017 => 1 y, 0 m, 1 d (!!!???)

Hope showing the test setup helps someone.


See http://techbrij.com/210/convert-timespan-to-year-month-date-age-calculation-in-net


This is what I use. It's a combination of the selected answer and this answer.

For someone born on 2016-2-29, on the 2017-3-1 their age outputs:

Years: 1
Months: 1 (28 days for February)
Days: 0

var today = new DateTime(2020,11,4);
//var today = DateTime.Today;

// Calculate the age.
var years = today.Year - dateOfBirth.Year;

// Go back to the year in which the person was born in case of a leap year
if (dateOfBirth.Date > today.AddYears(-years))
{
    years--;
}

var months = today.Month - dateOfBirth.Month;
// Full month hasn't completed
if (today.Day < dateOfBirth.Day)
{
    months--;
}

if (months < 0)
{
    months += 12;
}

Years = years;
Months = months;
Days = (today - dateOfBirth.AddMonths((years * 12) + months)).Days;


To get the age I would use the datetime of the birthdate and find the difference between that and the current system time. This link shows how to find the difference between two datetimes. Just make the starttime be the user's birthdate and endtime be now (DateTime.Now;)


This sounds like a fine exercise to get to know the TimeSpan class better.


Here is what I use:

    public static int GetAge(DateTime dateOfBirth)
    {
        int age = DateTime.Now.Year - dateOfBirth.Year;
        if (dateOfBirth.AddYears(age) > DateTime.Now)
        {
            age = age - 1;
        }

        return age;
    }


@if (Model.CF_DateOfBirth.HasValue)
                                        {
                                            var today = DateTime.Today;
                                            var months = DateTime.Today;
                                            var age = today.Year - Model.CF_DateOfBirth.Value.Year;
                                            var mons = months.Month - Model.CF_DateOfBirth.Val`enter code here`ue.Month;
                                            if (Model.CF_DateOfBirth > today.AddYears(-age) && Model.CF_DateOfBirth>months.AddMonths(-mons))
                                            {
                                                age--; mons--;
                                            }
                                            <i class="" style="color:cadetblue">&nbsp;&nbsp;Date of birth:&nbsp;&nbsp;</i><b style="color:teal">@Convert.ToDateTime(Model.CF_DateOfBirth).ToShortDateString().ToString()</b> <span>&nbsp;&nbsp;(&nbsp;<b>@age</b>Years &nbsp;<b>@mons</b> Months)</span>

                                        }


I find this the most accurate.

            private int GetAge(DateTime birthDate)
            {
                TimeSpan ageTimeSpan = DateTime.UtcNow.Subtract(birthDate);
                int age = new DateTime(ageTimeSpan.Ticks).Year;
                return age;
            }


I was noticing peculiarities with LukeH's answer and leap years. The simplest example is probably a dob = 2/29/2016 as of 2/28/2017 and 3/1/2017. The way I look at it, there are no days left in Feb 2016, there are 11 complete months (Mar-Jan) in between, and there have been 28 days in Feb 2017 so far, so as of 2/28/2017, I would call this person 11 months 28 days old. And 1 year 1 day old as of 3/1/2017. (Although some leap day babies do celebrate and on the 28th of common years ... I'm curious what the legal consideration is.)

Because LukeH's method makes uses of DateTime.AddMonths, it calculates 11 months 30 days, because it finds the difference in days between 2/28/2017 and 1/29/2017. So it calculates that 2/28/2017 is 11 mo 30 days after 2/29/2016, and 11 mo 27 days after 3/1/2016. A 3 day age difference for birthdays only 1 day apart. If it came up with 28 days as I did "by hand" they would have a one day age difference.

I'm not exactly sure how to describe the fundamental difference in approaches, but here is my stab at it. It seems there is always a gotcha with dates so please scrutinize.

internal static void CalculateAge(DateTime dateOfBirth, DateTime asOfDate, out int years, out int months, out int days)
{
    Console.Write("As of " + asOfDate.ToShortDateString() + ": ");

    //Get the relative difference between each date part
    days = asOfDate.Day - dateOfBirth.Day;
    months = asOfDate.Month - dateOfBirth.Month;
    years = asOfDate.Year - dateOfBirth.Year;

    if (days < 0)
    {
        days = DateTime.DaysInMonth(dateOfBirth.Year, dateOfBirth.Month) - dateOfBirth.Day +    //Days left in month of birthday +
                asOfDate.Day;                                                                   //Days passed in asOfDate's month
        months--;                                                                               //Subtract incomplete month that was already counted
    }

    if (months < 0)
    {
        months += 12;   //Subtract months from 12 to convert relative difference to # of months
        years--;        //Subtract incomplete year that was already counted
    }

    Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0} year{1}, {2} month{3} and {4} day{5}",
                years, (years == 1) ? "" : "s",
                months, (months == 1) ? "" : "s",
                days, (days == 1) ? "" : "s"));
}


If you have a Instance Variable/Property that names DateOfBirth, you can use this method. Otherwise, you can pass the Date of Birth as a parameter for method. I made some calculus and I proved that never fails.

public int AgeCalc(){
      DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
      double age =  Math.Floor((DateTime.Now - DateOfBirth).TotalDays)/((DateTime.IsLeapYear(year: now.Year)? 366 : 365));
      return (age % 1) >= 0.951 ? Math.Round(age) : Math.Floor(age);
}

I hope that this can help you :)
