Hijri Age Calculator

Calculate your age in the Islamic (Hijri) lunar calendar

Hijri vs Gregorian Age

The Hijri calendar is lunar-based with ~354 days per year, compared to ~365 days in the Gregorian calendar. This means your Hijri age will be approximately 3% higher than your Gregorian age.

Your Birthdate (Gregorian)

Note: The Hijri calendar is based on lunar months (~29.5 days each), making the Hijri year approximately 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year. Over time, this difference accumulates, which is why your Hijri age will always be higher than your Gregorian age.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is my Islamic age?
Your Islamic (Hijri) age is your age calculated using the Islamic lunar calendar, which started from the migration (Hijrah) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from Makkah to Madinah in 622 CE. Because the lunar year is about 11 days shorter than the solar year, your Hijri age is always slightly higher than your Gregorian age.
How do I calculate my age in the Hijri calendar?
Enter your birthdate (Gregorian or Hijri) in the calculator above. The tool converts your birthdate to the Hijri calendar and calculates the difference between your birth date and today's Hijri date to give you your exact age in Hijri years, months, and days.
Why is my Hijri age higher than my Gregorian age?
The Hijri calendar uses lunar months (approximately 29.5 days each), making the Hijri year about 354 days, roughly 11 days shorter than the 365-day Gregorian year. This means more Hijri years pass in the same period. For every 33 Gregorian years, approximately 34 Hijri years pass.
How do I convert my Gregorian birthdate to Hijri?
Use this calculator, select "Enter Gregorian Date", input your birthdate, and press Calculate. The tool will show your birthdate in the Hijri calendar along with your Hijri age and your next Hijri birthday.
When is my next Hijri birthday?
After calculating your Hijri age, the tool automatically shows when your next Hijri birthday falls, including the Hijri month and day, and how old you will turn in Hijri years.
