What year was I born if I'm 62?
1963 or 1964
Anyone who is 62 today, Friday, November 13, 2026, was born between Thursday, November 14, 1963 and Friday, November 13, 1964. The boundary falls in the middle of the year, so the answer spans two of them.
- Earliest birth date
- November 14, 1963
- Latest birth date
- November 13, 1964
- Birth years
- 1963 or 1964
- Age today
- 62
Which year, exactly
Someone born on Friday, November 13, 1964 turns 62 today. Someone born a day later, on Saturday, November 14, 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 Thursday, November 14, 1963 and on or before Friday, November 13, 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.
