Here are the years in which someone born in 2006 reaches each milestone age.
A birthday in 2006 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.
| Age | Year reached | From today |
|---|---|---|
| Age 18 | 2024 | Reached |
| Age 21 | 2027 | In 1 year |

| Age 67Full retirement age under Social Security for people born in 2006 (SSA). | 2073 | In 47 years |
The notes in the table come from these pages: EEOC: age discrimination, SSA: retirement age and benefit reduction, SSA: normal retirement age, Medicare.gov: get started with Medicare.
These nearby birth years have their own pages too.
The age calculator gives your exact age from a full birth date, with the days to your next birthday, and the days between dates calculator counts the gap between any two dates.
Here are four questions about being born in 2006, answered.
- How old am I if I was born in 2006?
- In 2026 you are 20 if your birthday has already passed this year and 19 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 20) and one from October 27 on is still to come (you are 19).
- How old will I be on December 31, 2026 if I was born in 2006?
- You will be 20. Every birthday of 2026 has happened by December 31, so everyone born in 2006 is 20 on the last day of 2026, and 21 on December 31, 2027.
- What year was I born if I am 20 in 2026?
- You were born in 2006 if your birthday has already passed this year, or in 2005 if it has not come round yet. 2026 minus 2006 is 20, and someone born in 2005 is still 20 until their birthday this year.
- In what year does someone born in 2006 turn 18?
- 2024, on the birthday in that year. Someone born in 2006 turns 21 in 2027 and 30 in 2036.
Turnover is cheaper to prevent than to calculate.
