I do something similar, although I haven’t done it with the Calendar app on the iPhone. I create a calendar event for the birthday or anniversary which includes the date. So for example, I’d create a recurring event for my dog’s birthday starting on February 14, 2016. Obviously, it would be recurring annually. It’s not the same as incrementing a counter, but it’s easy to figure out the age from the calendar event.

If the Birthdate field isn’t there, there is a button to add fields. Add the birthdate field. And enter their birth date, which will include the year. Make sure that in your Settings, Calendar, the birthday calendar is selected so it will show; don’t make it the default of course, but make sure it will show up. Then, I believe you will get what you are looking for.

The closest thing I could come up with is when you create an event with their birthdays, put the year they were borne in the notes section or title. That is the only way I can think of. Sorry I couldn’t be of more assistance.

For example, I'd like to create an event for each of my grandchildren's birthdays. I'd like it to indicate their age each time the event comes around. I assume I can do this by some how including some kind of control in the title or a date or something but can't seem to find info on it. Any ideas? I use the calendar app native to the Iphone and Ipad. If I have to I can move to another app but would rather not.
