How Your Half Birthday is Calculated
Half Birthday = Birthday + 6 months For dates that don't exist 6 months later (e.g. August 31 → there's no February 31), the calculator rounds to the last day of that month (February 28 or 29 in leap years).

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do people celebrate half birthdays?
Half birthdays are popular for children whose birthdays fall during summer school holidays, so they miss celebrating with classmates. Many schools and parents mark half birthdays during the school year instead.
Is a half birthday exactly 6 months?
Yes — 6 calendar months forward. Since months have different numbers of days, this isn't always exactly 182.5 days. For example, March 15 to September 15 is 184 days, while September 15 to March 15 is 181 days.
