Birthday math without the guesswork.
Six months is not always 182 days. Month lengths and leap years change the exact day count, so calendar-month arithmetic gives a more useful answer.

Half birthday questions
What is a half birthday?
A half birthday is the date six calendar months after a birthday. It marks the midpoint between one birthday and the next.
How do I calculate my half birthday?
Add six calendar months to your birth month and keep the same day when that day exists. This calculator also finds the next occurrence after today.
What happens if the target month has fewer days?
The calculator uses the last valid day of the target month. For example, August 31 becomes February 28 in a common year or February 29 in a leap year.
Is a half birthday always 182 or 183 days later?
Not always. Calendar months have different lengths, and leap years can add a day. That is why this tool adds six calendar months instead of assuming a fixed number of days.
Does the calculator save my birth date?
No. The calculation runs in your browser. The current tool does not upload, store or add your birth date to the page URL.
Can I calculate a baby's half birthday?
Yes. Enter the baby's birth date to find the first or next six-month milestone and the number of days remaining.
