Age by birth year
Here are four questions about being born in 1936, answered.
How old am I if I was born in 1936?
In 2026 you are 90 if your birthday has already passed this year and 89 if it has not. Today is Tuesday, November 3, 2026, counted in US Eastern time, so a birthday on or before November 3 has passed (you are 90) and one from November 4 on is still to come (you are 89).
How old will I be on December 31, 2026 if I was born in 1936?
You will be 90. Every birthday of 2026 has happened by December 31, so everyone born in 1936 is 90 on the last day of 2026, and 91 on December 31, 2027.
What year was I born if I am 90 in 2026?
You were born in 1936 if your birthday has already passed this year, or in 1935 if it has not come round yet. 2026 minus 1936 is 90, and someone born in 1935 is still 90 until their birthday this year.
When can I get full Social Security retirement benefits if I was born in 1936?
The SSA table gives a full retirement age of 65 for people born in 1936, which you reach in 2001. The earliest age retirement benefits can start is 62, which you reach in 1998.
