Frequently Asked Questions

What are the generation year ranges?

Commonly used ranges: Baby Boomers 1946–1964, Gen X 1965–1980, Millennials 1981–1996, Gen Z 1997–2012, Gen Alpha 2013 onward — though sources differ slightly.

Why do the ranges vary?

Generations are cultural labels, not scientific categories, so demographers and researchers draw the boundaries slightly differently.

What generation am I if I was born on a boundary year?

Boundary years are cusps — you may identify with either neighboring generation. The calculator shows the standard assignment.

Is my birth year stored?

No. The lookup runs entirely in your browser — nothing leaves your device.

Is the calculator free?

Yes, free with no signup.
