Chinese Zodiac Age Calculator
The Chinese Zodiac Age Calculator helps you determine your traditional Chinese lunar age and compare it with your Western age.
Western Age vs Chinese Lunar Age
Western age increases on your birthday. Chinese lunar age starts at 1 year old at birth and increases during Lunar New Year.
Western Age Formula
Western Age = Current Date − Birth Date
Chinese Lunar Age Formula
Chinese Age = Current Year − Birth Year + 1
Example
If you were born in 2000 and the current year is 2025:
Chinese Age = 2025 − 2000 + 1 = 26
