About the Birthday Countdown Calculator
The calculator uses a multi formula configuration. Each reported value is read as a direct evaluation of the stored rules with the declared field formats and units.
Formula basis:
2. Calculate this year's birthday (same month/day, current year)
4. Days until = ceil((next birthday - today) / 86,400,000 ms)
5. Weeks until = days / 7
6. Day of week = JavaScript Date.getDay() of next birthday
7. Next age = target birthday year - birth year
8. Day of year = days since Jan 1 + 1
Interpret the outputs in the order shown by the result fields. Optional inputs affect only the outputs that depend on those variables.
