# About This Calculator
The Age Checker is a verification tool designed to quickly confirm if a date of birth meets a specific age requirement.
It is widely used for:
- Legal Compliance: Verifying 18+ or 21+ status for restricted purchases.
- Eligibility: Checking qualification for driving licenses (16+), voting (18+), or retirement benefits (65+).
- Event Registration: Ensuring participants meet age brackets for sports or competitions.
Unlike a standard age calculator, this tool gives a binary "Pas/Fail" result based on the target age you set, eliminating mental math errors.
How To Use
- Enter the **Date of Birth** in the first field.
- Enter the **Required Age** (e.g., 21).
- Click **Check Eligibility**.
- See a clear **Green (Pass)** or **Red (Fail)** result.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if today is their birthday?+
Happy Birthday! They are considered to have reached the new age. The tool will mark them as Eligible (Pass).
Does it work for Leap Year babies (Feb 29)?+
Yes. In non-leap years, a person born on Feb 29 is typically considered 'a year older' on March 1st for legal purposes in many jurisdictions, though some use Feb 28. This tool follows standard Javascript date handling.
Is this different from the 'Korean Age' system?+
Yes. This tool verifies 'International Age' (or Western Age), where you start at 0 and turn 1 after a full year. In the traditional Korean system, you start at 1.
Can I use this for historical dates?+
Yes, it works for any year. You can check if someone born in 1900 would be 100 years old today (spoiler: passed long ago).
Why use a checker instead of doing math?+
Mental math mistakes happen, especially with months and days boundaries. 'Born in 2005' might be 18 or 19 depending on today's month even if the year math is easy. This tool removes that ambiguity.
Is Age Checker free to use?+
Yes, Age Checker on Matheric is completely free to use. We believe in accessible education and utility for everyone.
