How is age calculated?
In Western culture, age is calculated by the number of full years you have lived. However, in some East Asian cultures (like Korea traditionally), you are considered 1 year old the day you are born! This calculator uses the standard international system.
Why do we calculate age in weeks?
Seeing your life in weeks (e.g., "You have lived 1,200 weeks") is a popular stoic exercise called Memento Mori. It reminds us that time is finite and helps prioritize what matters in life.
