About Half Birthday Calculator

A half birthday falls roughly 182 or 183 days after the birthday - half of 365.25. For a 22 November birthday it lands around 23 May. Half birthdays matter practically for children whose birthdays fall in school holidays, and for age-banded eligibility rules that use half years.

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 2 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it exactly six months?

Not quite - adding six calendar months gives a different date than adding 182.6 days, because months vary in length. Either convention is used.

Why do schools use half birthdays?

To spread celebrations across the term year, so summer-born children are not left out during the holidays.
