LIFETYLE & UTILITIE CALCULATOR
Cat Age Calculator
A precise tool.
What is the Cat Age Calculator & How does it work?
Cats age at different rates compared to humans, and the commonly used formula to estimate a cat’s human equivalent age is not linear. The first year of a cat’s life is roughly equivalent to 15 human years, the second year is about 9 more human years, and each subsequent year is approximately 4 human years.This formula provides a rough estimate and can vary based on breed, health, and individual factors.
text{humanAge} = begin{cases} 15 & text{if } catAge = 1 \ 24 & text{if } catAge = 2 \ 24 + (catAge – 2) times 4 & text{if } catAge > 2 end{cases}
catAge = actual age of the cat in years
humanAge = estimated human equivalent age
humanAge = estimated human equivalent age

Frequently Asked Questions
How old is my cat in human years if it’s 1 year old?
A 1-year-old cat is roughly equivalent to 15 human years.
What is the formula for converting a cat’s age to human years?
The formula is: first year = 15, second year = 24, and each subsequent year adds about 4 human years.
How do I calculate my cat’s age in human years if it’s more than 2 years old?
For cats older than 2, add 4 human years for each additional cat year after the second.
Why is the conversion different for the first two years of a cat’s life?
Cats grow and develop quickly in their first two years, so their early life stages are equivalent to more human years.
Can this calculator be used for kittens under 1 year old?
This calculator is designed for cats aged 1 year and older. For kittens, you might consider using a different growth chart.
