Birthday calculation is not a single fixed-day formula because calendar age depends on month lengths and leap years.

Exact age = full years + full months + remaining days.

Birthday countdown = date difference between the as-of date and next birthday.

  1. 1. Compare the birth date with today or the selected as-of date.
  2. 2. Count full calendar years first.
  3. 3. Count full calendar months after the years.
  4. 4. Count remaining calendar days.
  5. 5. Separately calculate total days between the dates.
  6. 6. Find the next occurrence of the birthday.
  7. 7. Count the date-only days until that next birthday.
  8. 8. Calculate birthday weekdays and milestones from calendar dates.
