It is harder to look at the year as 365 days. However, it is better and more accurate. Most calculators use this method. 365 days in half is 182,5 days. This can be quite confusing!. If somebody was born in the morning they will celebrate their half birthday in a different day compared to somebody who was born on same day but in the afternoon. This is why on some calculators you have fill in  the hour you were born.
