Overview

The Age Calculator determines both Korean age (counting age) and international age (full age) based on your date of birth. Since June 2023, South Korea officially unified all legal and administrative ages to the international age system.

Formula

International Age = Current Year − Birth Year − (1 if birthday has not yet occurred, else 0). Korean Age = Current Year − Birth Year + 1.

How to Use

  2. 2Both international age and Korean counting age are displayed.
  3. 3Optionally, change the reference date to check your age at a specific point in time.

Tips

  • Since June 28, 2023, all legal and administrative ages in South Korea use the international age system.
  • Ages on Korean resident registration cards are based on international age.
  • If your birthday follows the lunar calendar, convert it to the Gregorian calendar first.
  • Legal thresholds for military service, voting, and drinking are based on international age.

FAQ

Q. What is the difference between Korean age and international age?

International age starts at 0 at birth and increases by 1 on each birthday. Korean counting age starts at 1 at birth and increases by 1 every January 1st. As a result, Korean age is typically 1–2 years higher.

Q. Does South Korea now only use international age?

Since June 28, 2023, all legal and administrative matters use international age. However, some people still use counting age in everyday conversation.

Q. What is 'year age' (연 나이)?

Year age = Current Year − Birth Year, calculated regardless of whether the birthday has passed. It is sometimes used as a reference for school enrollment cutoffs.
