Why two ages?

“Born in 1976” only fixes the year. Subtracting it from the current year gives the age you reach on this year's birthday, so for part of every year the honest answer is one less. That's the most common reason year-only calculators disagree with each other.

For a single exact answer — years, months, days, plus the weekday you were born — use the age calculator, or watch the seconds tick on how old am I.

People born in 1976 belong to Generation X (1965–1980). See the full timeline on what generation am I.
