What Is a Half Birthday?
A half birthday falls exactly six months after your actual birthday, the midpoint between one birthday and the next.
If your birthday is on March 15, your half birthday lands on September 15.

How Is a Half Birthday Calculated?
Your half birthday is determined by adding exactly 6 months to your date of birth.
| Birthday | Half Birthday |
|---|---|
| January 10 | July 10 |
| April 22 | October 22 |
| August 31 | February 28/29* |
| November 5 | May 5 |
End-of-month note: When your birthday falls on the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month, and six months later that day doesn't exist (e.g. February only has 28 or 29 days), your half birthday is adjusted to the last day of that month. Our half birthday calculator handles this automatically.
