The age calculator on the website and in the app stores uses an actual calendar to calculate a child's age. It takes into account which months have 30 days and which months have 31 days, and therefore provides a more precise age calculation. For ease of use, the manual calculation described in the User's Guides assumes that every month has 30 days. Ages calculated by hand may have a difference of a couple of days from ages calculated with the calculator.
