About

Understanding the demographic makeup of a workforce is essential for benefits planning, succession strategy, and engagement initiatives. However, calculating the average age manually from a list of birthdates is tedious and prone to error, especially when accounting for leap years.

This tool prioritizes data privacy. It runs entirely in your browser-no employee data is uploaded to any server. It parses various date formats, calculates precise ages, and automatically segments your team into generations (Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z) for instant reporting.
