Birth years 1930 to 2025
Here are the years in which someone born in 2020 reaches each milestone age.
A birthday in 2020 plus the age gives the year, and the birthday itself decides whether it is the earlier or the later of two years where the table shows both.

|---|---|---|
| Age 18 | 2038 | In 12 years |
| Age 21 | 2041 | In 15 years |
| Age 30 | 2050 | In 24 years |

The age calculator gives your exact age from a full birth date, with the days to your next birthday. The Hebrew date of the day you were born is in the Hebrew date converter.
The Hebrew calendar splits 2020 in two: it is the Hebrew year 5780 until Rosh Hashanah, in September or early October, and 5781 after it. Someone born in 2020 was born in the Hebrew year 5780 or 5781, and the Hebrew birthday calculator finds the exact Hebrew date.
Every birth year from 1930 to 2025 has a page, listed here by decade.
Age by birth year
Here are four questions about being born in 2020, answered.
How old am I if I was born in 2020?
In 2026 you are 6 if your birthday has already passed this year and 5 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 6) and one from November 4 on is still to come (you are 5).
How old will I be on December 31, 2026 if I was born in 2020?
You will be 6. Every birthday of 2026 has happened by December 31, so everyone born in 2020 is 6 on the last day of 2026, and 7 on December 31, 2027.
What year was I born if I am 6 in 2026?
You were born in 2020 if your birthday has already passed this year, or in 2019 if it has not come round yet. 2026 minus 2020 is 6, and someone born in 2019 is still 6 until their birthday this year.
In what year does someone born in 2020 turn 18?
2038, on the birthday in that year. Someone born in 2020 turns 21 in 2041 and 30 in 2050.
