Hijri Age Calculator
Enter your Gregorian date of birth to get your Hijri birth date and your current age in both Hijri and Gregorian years, per the Umm al-Qura calendar.
Hijri age vs Gregorian age
The Hijri year is lunar (~354 days), about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year. Your Hijri age therefore grows about one extra year every 33 Gregorian years — someone who is 33 in Gregorian years is about 34 in Hijri years.
How do I calculate my age in Hijri years?
Enter your Gregorian date of birth in the calculator above. It converts it to the corresponding Hijri date and computes the difference from today’s Hijri date, giving your age in Hijri years, months and days.
Why is my Hijri age higher than my Gregorian age?
Because the Hijri year is about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year — every 33 Gregorian years equal roughly 34 Hijri years, so the Hijri number is larger.
Where is the Hijri age needed?
Government bodies in Saudi Arabia and some other countries use the Hijri calendar in official paperwork, where a Hijri birth date or age is sometimes required.
