1. What is the Age Calculation Formula?

The age calculation formula \( A = \frac{(CD - BD)}{365.25} \) estimates age in years from birthdate in Nepali calendar context, accounting for leap years by using 365.25 days per year.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the age calculation formula:

Where:

• \( A \) — Age in years
• \( CD \) — Current date
• \( BD \) — Birth date
• 365.25 — Average days per year (accounts for leap years)

Explanation: The formula calculates the difference between current date and birth date in days, then converts to years accounting for leap years.

3. Importance of Age Calculation

Details: Accurate age calculation is crucial for various administrative, legal, and cultural purposes in Nepali context, including school enrollment, legal rights, and traditional ceremonies.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter birth date in Nepali calendar format and current date. The calculator will automatically compute the age in years.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why use 365.25 instead of 365?
A: Using 365.25 accounts for leap years (extra day every 4 years) for more accurate long-term age calculation.

Q2: How does this differ from Western age calculation?
A: This method provides precise decimal age, while traditional Nepali age calculation may differ based on cultural counting methods.

Q3: What date format should be used?
A: Use the Nepali calendar date format for birth date, but the calculator accepts standard Gregorian calendar input.

Q4: Are there limitations to this calculation?
A: For precise age calculation (especially for legal purposes), exact time of birth may need to be considered.

Q5: How accurate is this method?
A: This method provides age accurate to about ±0.25 days per year compared to exact time calculations.
