Everyday, Culture & Nature Age Tools

Everything that isn't about health, sport, children or money: exact ages between dates, ages counted in other calendars, pets' life stages, trees and plants, and light-hearted tallies of your habits. Pet pages lead with the animal's actual age and life stage; any "human years" figure is labelled as a comparison.

Calendar tools show their supported date range and which regional convention they follow. Trunk and shell size never give an exact age. Checklists and tallies are for reflection or fun, not a measure of maturity.

Exact age & dates

Age to the day, the gap between two birthdays, anniversaries, and your age in orbits of other planets.

Cultural & calendar ages

Traditional counts alongside the legal age: Chinese lunar, Korean, Japanese era years and the Umm al-Qura Hijri calendar.

Dogs, cats & comparing pets

Life stage by size for dogs, AAHA/AAFP stages for cats, and a side-by-side comparison page.

Small mammals

Rabbits, rodents, ferrets and hedgehogs, which age far faster than dogs or cats.

Reptiles, birds, fish & horses

Species with very different lifespans; shell or body size is a rough guide only.

Trees & plants

Species growth factors for trees from trunk size, and houseplant age.

Relationships & life planning

The half-your-age-plus-seven folk rule and reflection checklists for marriage, parenthood and social connection — no pass marks.

Habits & lifetime tallies

Plain totals from your own numbers: countries visited, miles driven, cups of coffee, hours online, gaming and reading.
