How To Use the Anniversary Calculator?
The anniversary calculator is easy to use. Start by selecting the type of anniversary you wish to calculate:
- Wedding anniversary: Determine the date of the next wedding anniversary, whether it’s yours, your parents’, or your friends’. The tool also calculates how many days remain until the occasion and provides the age of the marriage in years, months, and days based on the wedding date.
- Relationship anniversary: Find out when the next anniversary for a couple occurs and the total duration of their relationship.
- Other anniversaries: Useful for events like graduations, work anniversaries, company founding dates, or any other significant occasion.
After choosing the type, input the date of the original event, such as your wedding date, relationship start date, company founding date, or graduation date. If you are unsure of the exact date, enter the month and year, using “1” as the day. The results in this case will be approximate, with a potential error margin of up to a month.
When you click “Calculate,” the tool will display the time elapsed since the event (e.g., “10 years, 3 months, and 25 days”) in full years, months, weeks, and days. For weddings, it shows the time married; for companies, it states how long they have existed. It also calculates the next anniversary (e.g., 10th, 20th) with its exact date and counts down the days left. For wedding anniversaries, it even suggests traditional and modern gift ideas.
When Is My Next Wedding Anniversary?
To find the date of your next wedding anniversary and how many days you have to prepare, use the wedding anniversary calculator. It simplifies the process, sparing you from doing the time difference calculations yourself.
Alternatively, follow this three-step method:
- Note the wedding date, including the month.
- If the anniversary month hasn’t passed this year, the next anniversary will fall on the same date this year.
- If the month has already passed, the next anniversary will occur next year on the same date and month.
This approach is handy for planning parties for your parents, friends, or relatives or for setting a countdown timer for the occasion.
How Many Years Have I Been Married?
Calculating the number of years married is simple. Follow these steps:
- Recall the marriage date and note the year (e.g., 2010).
- Subtract the year of marriage from the current year (e.g., 2024 – 2010 = 14).
- If the date has already passed this year, add 1 to the result.
To find the current year of marriage or relationship, simply repeat step 3.
How Many Years in 2024?
The following table offers a quick reference for how many years a couple has been married based on the year of marriage as of the end of 2024.

How Long Have I Been Married?
When calculating the time since marriage or the start of a relationship in years, months, and days, you might face challenges, especially with leap years. Instead of manual calculations, use a time difference calculator or the anniversary calculator’s “wedding anniversary” mode.
The same approach works to calculate the duration of other relationships. For example, it can answer “How long have we been together?” quickly and accurately.
Wedding Anniversary Gifts

For anniversaries beyond the 60th, diamond-themed gifts are traditional, though they can be expensive. If you’re unable to afford such items, choose something that will bring joy to your loved one instead. Customary gifts are suggestions, not requirements!
Note that after the first 10-15 years there are established gifts mostly for jubilees and for anything above the 60-th anniversary the customary present involves diamonds, but that can obviously be a pricey option. What if you can’t afford or do not like the idea of some of these customary gifts? Well, customary does not mean necessary, so just get what you think would improve your loved one(s) happiness.
