## People born in 1990 are Millennials, which Pew Research Center dates from 1981 to 1996.

1990 is the 10th 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. 1990 is marked in the Millennials band._

## Here are the years in which someone born in 1990 reaches each milestone age.

A birthday in 1990 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 1990, answered.

How old am I if I was born in 1990?

In 2026 you are 36 if your birthday has already passed this year and 35 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 36) and one from October 27 on is still to come (you are 35).

How old will I be on December 31, 2026 if I was born in 1990?

You will be 36. Every birthday of 2026 has happened by December 31, so everyone born in 1990 is 36 on the last day of 2026, and 37 on December 31, 2027.

What year was I born if I am 36 in 2026?

You were born in 1990 if your birthday has already passed this year, or in 1989 if it has not come round yet. 2026 minus 1990 is 36, and someone born in 1989 is still 36 until their birthday this year.

When can I get full Social Security retirement benefits if I was born in 1990?

The SSA table gives a full retirement age of 67 for people born in 1990, which you reach in 2057. The earliest age retirement benefits can start is 62, which you reach in 2052.
