Someone born in 2006 is currently 17 or 18 years old, depending on the current date and their birthdate.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
If the current year is 2024: A person born in 2006 would turn 18 in 2024 if their birthdate has already passed in 2024. If their birthday is later in 2024, they are currently 17.
-
General Case: To calculate someone's age, subtract the birth year from the current year. If their birthdate has not yet passed in the current year, subtract 1 from the result.
Example:
Let's say it is currently August 2024.
- If someone was born in January 2006, they are already 18 years old.
- If someone was born in December 2006, they are currently 17 years old, and will turn 18 later in the year.
