Date of Birth Age Calculator for School Admission

Check your child's exact age on a school admission date. Enter the date of birth and the school cut-off date to see the age in years, months and days on that day.

How to use

1. Enter the child's date of birth. 2. Enter the school's cut-off date — the default is 1 September 2026. 3. Tap Calculate School Age.

Why this matters for admission

Schools often ask for a child's age on a fixed date, not today. A child who is 4 years 11 months on the cut-off date may have to wait a year, while a child who is 5 years 1 day may be eligible. This tool gives that exact age.

Frequently asked questions

What cut-off date should I use? Use the date your school or district gives you.
Is this official? No, it is a calculation aid. Confirm eligibility with the school.
