How Is Age Calculated? #
Age is calculated by subtracting your birth year from the current year. If your birthday hasn't occurred yet in the current calendar year, one year is subtracted from the result:
Age = 2026 − 2008 = 18 years (if birthday passed)
Age = 2026 − 2008 − 1 = 17 years (if birthday not yet)
Age = 2026 − 2008 − 1 = 17 years (if birthday not yet)
