In 2026 you are 64 if your birthday has already passed this year and 63 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 64) and one from November 4 on is still to come (you are 63).
How old will I be on December 31, 2026 if I was born in 1962?
You will be 64. Every birthday of 2026 has happened by December 31, so everyone born in 1962 is 64 on the last day of 2026, and 65 on December 31, 2027.

You were born in 1962 if your birthday has already passed this year, or in 1961 if it has not come round yet. 2026 minus 1962 is 64, and someone born in 1961 is still 64 until their birthday this year.
