Six calendar months, clamped

A half birthday is six calendar months after your birthday. Born on 15 June, your half birthday is 15 December. Where the target month is shorter the date clamps — 31 August gives 28 or 29 February.

How to find your half birthday

1 Enter your date of birth.

2 Read the half birthday for the current year.

3 It is six calendar months, not 182 days.

4 Month-end dates clamp to the end of a shorter month.

Half birthdays exist mainly for children whose birthdays fall in the school holidays, so a celebration can happen with classmates. Some schools also use them for a mid-year acknowledgement. The six-calendar-month convention is more common than the 182-day one because it keeps the same day number, which is easier to remember and lands on a predictable date every year.
