Anniversary Calculator

Anniversaries mark special milestones in personal, professional, and cultural contexts. Whether it’s a wedding, work anniversary, or any other meaningful event, knowing the exact date of future anniversaries can help with planning and celebrations. The Anniversary Calculator makes it easy to calculate the anniversary date based on a start date and the number of years.

Formula

The formula to calculate an anniversary date is:
Anniversary Date (AD) = Start Date (SD) + Years (Y)
Where:

• SD is the start date of the event.
• Y is the number of years since the start date.

How to Use

1. Enter the start date (the original event date) in the format YYYY-MM-DD.
2. Input the number of years for which you want to calculate the anniversary.
3. Click the “Calculate” button to get the anniversary date.
4. The result will display the exact anniversary date.

Example

If your wedding date was on January 1, 2015, and you want to calculate your 10-year anniversary:

• Enter the start date as 2015-01-01.
• Enter the number of years as 10.
  The calculator will return January 1, 2025, as your 10-year anniversary date.
