Quick answers about age-by-year lookups, exact age, past years and calendar edge cases.
What is a birth year age chart? Read full answerShow less
A birth year age chart shows how old someone turns in each calendar year based on the year they were born.
How do I calculate my age from my birth year? Read full answerShow less
Subtract the birth year from the calendar year you want to check. For example, subtracting your birth year from the current year gives the age you turn this year.
Why does the chart say “age you turn” instead of exact age? A birth year alone cannot tell whether your birthday has already happened this year. Read full answerShow less
A birth year does not include the birthday month or day, so exact age depends on whether the birthday has already passed.
Can this chart show future ages? Yes. The chart continues beyond the current year so you can see upcoming ages. Read full answerShow less

Does the chart include every year? Yes. It lists each calendar year continuously from the selected birth year onward. Read full answerShow less
Yes. The chart lists every calendar year from the selected birth year through 10 years beyond the current year.
How do I know whether I'm the lower or higher age shown under "Exact age today"? If your birthday has happened this year, use the higher age; if it has not, use the lower age. Read full answerShow less
If your birthday has already happened this year, your exact age is the higher number, which is also the age you turn this year. If your birthday has not happened yet, your exact age is the lower number. The chart cannot choose between them because it only knows your birth year, not your birthday month and day.
How old was I in a past year? Find that calendar year in the chart; the age beside it is the age you turned during that year. Read full answerShow less
Find the calendar year you want in the chart. The age beside it is the age you turned during that year. If you need your exact age on a particular date in that year, whether your birthday had already happened on that date still matters. The chart begins with your birth year, so years before you were born are not listed.
How do I get my exact age instead of the age I turn? Use your full birthdate so the birthday month and day can be included in the calculation. Read full answerShow less
Use the Age Calculator and enter your full birthdate. A birth year alone can show the age you turn in each calendar year, but the month and day are needed to determine your exact age today.
Do leap years or February 29 birthdays change the chart? No. The chart uses only birth year and calendar year, so leap days do not change the ages shown. Read full answerShow less
No. This chart uses only the birth year and calendar year, so leap years and February 29 do not change any age shown in the table. If you need an exact age from a full birthdate, use the Age Calculator.
