What year was I born if I'm 62?
1963 or 1964
Anyone who is 62 today, Thursday, September 24, 2026, was born between Wednesday, September 25, 1963 and Thursday, September 24, 1964. The boundary falls in the middle of the year, so the answer spans two of them.
- Earliest birth date
- September 25, 1963
- Latest birth date
- September 24, 1964
- Birth years
- 1963 or 1964
- Age today
- 62
Which year, exactly
Someone born on Thursday, September 24, 1964 turns 62 today. Someone born a day later, on Friday, September 25, 1964, is still 61 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 62 today, a date of birth has to fall on or after Wednesday, September 25, 1963 and on or before Thursday, September 24, 1964.
That window contains 29 February 1964, so some people who are 62 today were born on a date that only comes round every four years — 62 years old with 15 birthdays behind them rather than 62. The next 29 February is when they have another.
