What year was I born if I'm 2?
2023 or 2024
Anyone who is 2 today, Thursday, September 24, 2026, was born between Monday, September 25, 2023 and Tuesday, September 24, 2024. The boundary falls in the middle of the year, so the answer spans two of them.
- Earliest birth date
- September 25, 2023
- Latest birth date
- September 24, 2024
- Birth years
- 2023 or 2024
- Age today
- 2
Which year, exactly
Someone born on Tuesday, September 24, 2024 turns 2 today. Someone born a day later, on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, is still 1 until tomorrow. That is why “what year” has two answers rather than one, and why a birth date rather than a year is what settles it.
Read the other way round: to be exactly 2 today, a date of birth has to fall on or after Monday, September 25, 2023 and on or before Tuesday, September 24, 2024.
That window contains 29 February 2024, so some people who are 2 today were born on a date that only comes round every four years — 2 years old with 0 birthdays behind them rather than 2. The next 29 February is when they have another.
