How to Calculate Age in Hijri

Calculating age in Hijri doesn't just depend on the difference in years, because the result is also affected by months and days, and is not merely subtracting the birth year from the current year.

That's why the tool doesn't just settle for a quick estimate. Instead, it calculates the Hijri age based on the Hijri date you enter, then displays the result more clearly and accurately.

If you want to understand the calculation method itself more broadly, you can refer to the How is age calculated? page.

But if your birth date is written in the Gregorian calendar, you can use the Gregorian Age Calculator to calculate it directly.

When do you need to calculate your Hijri age?

Not everyone needs to calculate it daily, but it frequently comes up in situations like:

  • When a date of birth is written in Hijri on an official document.
  • During religious milestones where you need to know your exact age (like determining the age for fasting or Zakat).
  • Calculating the Hijri age of a child or a newborn.
  • Dealing with a system, institution, or country that relies on the Hijri calendar.

In these cases, estimating your age usually leads to mistakes, especially if the date is close to the beginning or end of the lunar month.

The difference between Hijri and Gregorian age

The difference comes down to the fact that the Hijri calendar is based on the moon's cycle around the Earth, while the Gregorian calendar is based on the Earth's cycle around the sun.
Because of this, the Hijri year is about 10 to 11 days shorter.

That is why it's completely normal to notice that your Hijri age is older than your Gregorian age.
