Diamond Birthday Formula

The following equation is used to calculate the Diamond Birthday (using the common “last two digits” definition).

DB = BD + YY
  • Where DB is the Diamond Birthday date
  • BD is your birth date
  • YY is the last two digits of your birth year (as years). For a birth year ending in 00, this calculator lets you choose 100 years (default) or 0 years.

To calculate the Diamond Birthday, add a number of years equal to the last two digits of your birth year to your birth date (often using 100 years if your birth year ends in 00).

What is a Diamond Birthday?

Definition:

How to Calculate a Diamond Birthday?

Example Problem:

The following example outlines the steps to determine your Diamond Birthday using the calculator.

First, enter your birth date. In this example, the birth date is January 1, 1960.

Next, take the last two digits of the birth year (60) and add that many years to the birth date, resulting in January 1, 2020.

Finally, compare the milestone with a selected date, or leave the comparison date blank to use your device’s local date when you select Calculate. February 29 anniversaries use February 28 in non-leap years; this is a celebration convention, not a legal age rule.
