## Overview

January 1, 1985 corresponds to the 8th of Rabi al-Akhira (Rabi II) 1405 in the Hijri calendar. People born in 1985 reached their 40th Gregorian birthday in 2025 — but their 40th Hijri birthday arrived earlier, in 2024, because the lunar Hijri year is shorter. The converter here gives the permanent, date-independent Hijri equivalent of the birth date, which is also the starting point for calculating how many Hijri years old you are on any given day.

## Method

Every date is reduced to a Julian Day Number (JDN), a continuous integer count of days since a fixed epoch, and every output is derived from that single pivot. The Gregorian, Julian and tabular Islamic conversions are hand-rolled from the standard algorithms (Fourmilab / US Naval Observatory): the Gregorian and Julian use the classic civil-date formulas, and the tabular Hijri uses the 30-year cycle with 11 leap years and the leap rule ((year × 11) + 14) mod 30 < 11, anchored to the epoch JDN 1948439.5 (1 Muharram AH 1 = Friday 16 July 622 CE in the Julian calendar). The Hebrew, Persian, Indian (Saka), Ethiopian and Chinese calendars are read through Intl.DateTimeFormat's ICU calendars at the civil noon of each JDN, which yields an exact year and day; the total days lived is simply the difference of the two JDNs, so it is identical across calendars. Age in years is computed by counting completed calendar-year anniversaries up to the as-of date, clamping to the last valid day when a birthday lands on a date that does not exist that year (such as 29 February). The Hijri-drift figure compares the mean tabular Hijri year (10631 ÷ 30 ≈ 354.367 days) with the mean Gregorian year (365.2425 days), a deficit of about 10.876 days per year, and reports the approximate extra Hijri years your age accumulates. "Today" is computed at local civil midnight in your time zone, after the page mounts, so the default as-of date is correct wherever you are without baking a build-time date into the page.
