What year was I born if I'm 64?

1961 or 1962

Anyone who is 64 today, Friday, November 13, 2026, was born between Tuesday, November 14, 1961 and Tuesday, November 13, 1962. The boundary falls in the middle of the year, so the answer spans two of them.

Which year, exactly

Someone born on Tuesday, November 13, 1962 turns 64 today. Someone born a day later, on Wednesday, November 14, 1962, is still 63 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 64 today, a date of birth has to fall on or after Tuesday, November 14, 1961 and on or before Tuesday, November 13, 1962.

There is no 29 February in that window, so everyone who is 64 today has had a birthday every year since they were born. Twenty-five of the hundred ages on this site do span a leap day; this is not one of them.
