How the age is worked out

Subtract the birth year from the current year: 2026 − 2021 = 5. That is the age reached on the birthday in 2026. Before the birthday comes round, the person is one year younger, 4. A birth year on its own can never give one age for the whole year, which is why this page shows both.

2021 was not a leap year, so no one was born on 29 February 2021.

The full method, including month ends and leap days, is on the calculation methodology page. To go from an age back to a year, use the birth year calculator.
