Understanding Age Differences
Age Gap Patterns

Minor Gap
3-7 years: Different but overlapping life stages
- •

- •
Adult Years (20-50)
Gaps become less significant as development stabilizes

Later Years (50+)
Age differences matter less as experiences accumulate

Frequently Asked Questions
How is age difference calculated?
We calculate the exact difference between two birthdates, accounting for leap years and varying month lengths. The result is broken down into years, months, and days for precision.
What is an age ratio?
Age ratio compares the ages of two people as a proportion. For example, if one person is 30 and another is 20, their age ratio is 1.5:1. This ratio changes over time as both people age.
Why calculate milestone dates?
Milestone dates like "half age" and "double age" provide interesting perspectives on age differences. They help visualize how age gaps change over time and when significant age relationships occur.
How do age gaps change over time?
While the absolute year difference remains constant, the relative age difference becomes less significant over time. A 10-year gap feels much larger between a 20 and 30-year-old than between a 50 and 60-year-old.
