As of October 26, 2023, if you were born in 1997, you would be 26 years old. However, this depends on your birthdate within 1997. References indicate that those born before November 1st would be 27 years old in 2024, while those born after November 1st would be 26.
Understanding Age Calculation
Calculating age involves subtracting your birth year from the current year. For someone born in 1997:
- In 2023: 2023 - 1997 = 26 years old (for those whose birthday has already passed in 2023)
- In 2024: 2024 - 1997 = 27 years old
Several sources corroborate this calculation, as evidenced by the provided snippets:
- blaze.today: States someone born in 1997 is 27 years old as of April 1st, 2022. This is consistent with the aging process.
- shuteye.ai: Clearly states that someone born in 1997 is 27 years old in 2024.
- agecalculator.iamrohit.in: Provides a tool for calculating age based on birth year, confirming the age calculation methodology.
- omnicalculator.com: Indicates that someone born in 1997 would be 26 years old in 2023 after their birthday.
The discrepancy between 26 and 27 years old depends entirely on whether your birthday in 2023 has already occurred.
Generation Considerations
