What year was I born if I'm 75?

1950 or 1951

Anyone who is 75 today, Thursday, September 24, 2026, was born between Monday, September 25, 1950 and Monday, September 24, 1951. The boundary falls in the middle of the year, so the answer spans two of them.

Which year, exactly

Someone born on Monday, September 24, 1951 turns 75 today. Someone born a day later, on Tuesday, September 25, 1951, is still 74 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 75 today, a date of birth has to fall on or after Monday, September 25, 1950 and on or before Monday, September 24, 1951.

There is no 29 February in that window, so everyone who is 75 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.
