Questions

What is a half birthday?

A half birthday is the date exactly six months after (or before) your birthday — the halfway point until you turn a year older. It is popular for summer and December birthdays that clash with holidays.

How do you work out a half birthday for 31 August?

Six months after 31 August is 28 February (or 29 February in a leap year), because February has no 31st. This calculator always moves to the last day of the month in that case.

When is my half birthday if I was born on 29 February?

Six months after 29 February is 29 August, every year.
