How old will I be on December 31, 2026 if I was born in 1983?
You will be 43. Every birthday of 2026 has happened by December 31, so everyone born in 1983 is 43 on the last day of 2026, and 44 on December 31, 2027.

You were born in 1983 if your birthday has already passed this year, or in 1982 if it has not come round yet. 2026 minus 1983 is 43, and someone born in 1982 is still 43 until their birthday this year.
