Enter a birth year to see which named generation it falls into, and the commonly used date range for that generation.
Generation labels aren't official or scientifically fixed — they're a convention popularized mainly by demographers, marketers, and researchers like Pew Research Center, and different sources shift the boundary years by a year or two in either direction. The ranges below reflect the most commonly cited version, but if you were born within a year or two of a boundary, you'll see slightly different answers depending on the source.
Silent Generation: 1928–1945. Baby Boomers: 1946–1964. Generation X: 1965–1980. Millennials: 1981–1996. Generation Z: 1997–2012. Generation Alpha: 2013–present.
