Frequently asked questions
Does it calculate the exact time since birth?
The controls take dates rather than a birth time. Hour totals are date-based estimates, not a time-of-day record.
Can I use this to decide a legal age deadline?
Check the applicable official rules. This utility calculates date differences and does not determine jurisdiction-specific eligibility.
