Calculate an exact age

How old is someone born in 2001?

Subtract 2001 from 2026 to get 25. If the person's birthday has not happened yet this year, subtract one, making the age 24. A full birth date is needed for an exact result in years, months, and days.

Why two ages are shown

A birth year alone does not include the month and day. During 2026, everyone born in 2001 turns 25, but before that birthday they remain 24.

About generation labels

Generation Z is a commonly used label for people born in this period. Generation boundaries vary by source and are descriptive, not scientific or legal categories.
