## People born in 1983 are Millennials, which Pew Research Center dates from 1981 to 1996.

1983 is the 3rd of the 16 birth years in that span. The range comes from [Pew Research Center](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2019/01/17/where-millennials-end-and-generation-z-begins/).

_Figure: The birth years 1930 to 2025 in five bands: before 1946, Baby Boomers 1946 to 1964, Generation X 1965 to 1980, Millennials 1981 to 1996, and Generation Z from 1997. 1983 is marked in the Millennials band._

## Here are the years in which someone born in 1983 reaches each milestone age.

A birthday in 1983 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.

## Here are four questions about being born in 1983, answered.

How old am I if I was born in 1983?

In 2026 you are 43 if your birthday has already passed this year and 42 if it has not. Today is Monday, October 26, 2026, counted in US Eastern time, so a birthday on or before October 26 has passed (you are 43) and one from October 27 on is still to come (you are 42).

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.

What year was I born if I am 43 in 2026?

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.

When can I get full Social Security retirement benefits if I was born in 1983?

The SSA table gives a full retirement age of 67 for people born in 1983, which you reach in 2050. The earliest age retirement benefits can start is 62, which you reach in 2045.
