How This Works

Because a birth year alone doesn't tell us the exact birth date, someone's current age corresponds to one of two possible birth years โ€” whichever applies depends on whether this year's birthday has already occurred.

Formula

Birth Year = Current Year − Age (− 1 if birthday hasn't happened yet this year)

Example

In 2026, someone who is 30 years old was born in 1995 or 1996.
