The gap is measured between whole calendar dates. Years and months are calendar units; the total-day figure is the exact elapsed number of midnights.

Common questions
Does the order of the two dates matter?
No. The earlier birth date is automatically treated as the older date, so the same positive age gap is returned whichever date is entered first.
Why can months and days differ from a simple day conversion?
Calendar months contain different numbers of days. The calendar gap preserves real year and month boundaries, while total days is a separate exact duration.
