A Family Age Calculator for Your Whole Family
Most age calculators answer one question about one person: how old am I? Families ask different questions. How old was Mum when I was born? What is the age gap between the kids? How much older is Grandad than Grandma? How old will everyone be at the reunion next year? This family age calculator answers all of them at once from a single list of names and birthdays.
Add your immediate family (parents, children and siblings) or your extended family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and in-laws). The calculator ranks everyone from oldest to youngest and works out the exact age gap between every pair in years, months and days. Because the gap between a parent and child is the parent's age on the day the child was born, the same table also shows how old every parent and grandparent was at each birth.
The Family insights panel adds the age span from the eldest to the youngest, the family's combined and average age, the two people closest in age, anyone who shares a birthday, whose birthday is next and which milestone birthdays (18, 21, 30, 40, 50, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 90 and 100) are coming up. Set an Ages as at date to see everything on a future or past day. Everything runs privately in your browser, and our step-by-step guide to comparing family ages walks through a full example.
Worked Example: Three Generations of One Family
Here is what the calculator shows for a family of five (a grandmother, two parents and two children) with ages as at 30 October 2026. Ava was born on 29 February, a leap day.

| 3 | Sarah (Mum) | 22 Mar 1990 | 36 years, 7 months, 8 days |
| 4 | Liam | 8 Nov 2012 | 13 years, 11 months, 22 days |
| 5 | Ava | 29 Feb 2016 | 10 years, 8 months, 1 day |
| Pair | Age gap | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Grandma Rose & Ahmad | 33 yrs, 4 mo, 12 days | Rose was 33 when Ahmad was born |

| Combined family age | 177.4 years |
| Average age | 35.5 years |
| Closest in age | Liam and Ava, 3 yrs, 3 mo, 21 days |
| Next birthday | Liam turns 14 on 8 Nov 2026 (in 9 days) |
