What year was I born if I'm 7?
2018 or 2019
Anyone who is 7 today, Friday, November 13, 2026, was born between Wednesday, November 14, 2018 and Wednesday, November 13, 2019. The boundary falls in the middle of the year, so the answer spans two of them.
- Earliest birth date
- November 14, 2018
- Latest birth date
- November 13, 2019
- Birth years
- 2018 or 2019
- Age today
- 7
Which year, exactly
Someone born on Wednesday, November 13, 2019 turns 7 today. Someone born a day later, on Thursday, November 14, 2019, is still 6 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 7 today, a date of birth has to fall on or after Wednesday, November 14, 2018 and on or before Wednesday, November 13, 2019.
There is no 29 February in that window, so everyone who is 7 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.
