How to calculate your Hijri age
- Choose whether you have your date of birth in the Gregorian or the Hijri calendar.
- Enter the date of birth. If it is Hijri, type the day, choose the month and type the year.
- Leave the calculation date on today, or change it to find your age on another day, and choose the Hijri calendar.
- See your Hijri and Gregorian age, your birth date in both calendars and when your next Hijri birthday is.
Why your Hijri age is higher than your Gregorian age
The Hijri year lasts 354 or 355 days, about 11 days fewer than the Gregorian one. So, with the same birth date, your age in Hijri years is higher: roughly every 33 Gregorian years add up to 34 Hijri years. Someone who is 30 in Gregorian years is about 31 in Hijri years.
The calculator converts your birth date to the Hijri calendar, counts complete years, months and days up to the calculation date using the real length of each Hijri month (29 or 30 days), and does the same in the Gregorian calendar. Your next Hijri birthday is the Hijri day and month of your birth in the coming Hijri year.
It is useful for paperwork or forms that ask for your age by the Hijri calendar, for studying religious dates, or just out of curiosity. No date is saved or sent anywhere.
Good to know
- The calendar is calculated (Umm al-Qura or civil): it can differ by a day from the one your country uses, which sometimes depends on moon sighting.
- It works between the years 1300 and 1600 AH (1882 to 2174 Gregorian).
- The time of birth and the time zone are not taken into account.
