- Calendar arithmetic in UTC, no time zones.
- Day borrowing uses the length of the month before the cutoff month.
- Born on 29 February: the year completes on 1 March in non-leap years.
Common questions
Do I count the cutoff date itself?
Age is measured up to the start of the cutoff date, so a candidate born exactly 21 years before the cutoff is 21 years, 0 months, 0 days old on it.
