This page opens the birth year calculator with 18 already filled in. Choose whether your birthday has passed this year and press the button — the calculator subtracts from the current year on your device, so the answer is always up to date, whichever year you visit.

Eighteen always leaves two candidate years: if your birthday has already happened this year, your birth year is the current year minus 18; if it is still ahead, subtract 19, because you only turn your current age at the birthday itself. The "not sure" option lays both years out side by side with the formula for each.

Turning 18 is the big legal threshold in most of the world — voting, contracts, full driving rights — so this is the age most often checked against documents. If you know the full birth date and want the exact age in years, months and days instead, our age calculator does the reverse computation.
