Age by birth year
Here are four questions about being born in 1960, answered.
How old am I if I was born in 1960?
In 2026 you are 66 if your birthday has already passed this year and 65 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 66) and one from November 4 on is still to come (you are 65).
How old will I be on December 31, 2026 if I was born in 1960?
You will be 66. Every birthday of 2026 has happened by December 31, so everyone born in 1960 is 66 on the last day of 2026, and 67 on December 31, 2027.
What year was I born if I am 66 in 2026?
You were born in 1960 if your birthday has already passed this year, or in 1959 if it has not come round yet. 2026 minus 1960 is 66, and someone born in 1959 is still 66 until their birthday this year.
When can I get full Social Security retirement benefits if I was born in 1960?
The SSA table gives a full retirement age of 67 for people born in 1960, which you reach in 2027. The earliest age retirement benefits can start is 62, which you reach in 2022.
