A birth year calculator deduces a person’s year of birth based on their current age. Because birthdays occur throughout the year, an age corresponds to one of two consecutive birth years depending on whether the birthday has already occurred in the target year.
Y_{\text{passed}} = Y_{\text{target}} - \text{Age} \quad ; \quad Y_{\text{pending}} = Y_{\text{target}} - \text{Age} - 1If the individual has celebrated their birthday this year, their birth year is Y_target - Age. If pending, they were born in the preceding calendar year.
Scenario: A person is 30 years old in the year 2025.
If birthday already occurred in 2025: 2025 - 30 = 1995 (Year of the Boar/Pig).
If birthday has not yet occurred in 2025: 2025 - 30 - 1 = 1994 (Year of the Dog).
Unless the exact month and day are known, a person could have already celebrated their birthday this year or have it upcoming, creating two possible birth years.
You were born in either 2000 (if your birthday has passed) or 1999 (if your birthday is later in the year).
Someone born in 1995 belongs to the Millennial generation (1981–1996).
The Chinese calendar pairs 12 animal signs with 5 elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) in a 60-year sexagenary cycle.
