📅 How Half Birthdays Work
Your half birthday is calculated by adding exactly 6 months to your birth date. If your birthday falls on the 31st of a month, your half birthday will be adjusted to the last day of the 6th month later. For example:
| Birthday | Half Birthday | Days Apart |
|---|---|---|
| January 15 | July 15 | 182 days |
| February 28 | August 28 | 181-182 days |
| June 1 | December 1 | 183 days |
| July 4 | January 4 | 184 days |
