Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. How does age change before and after a birthday?
A. This table shows the age reached during 2026 (after the birthday). If you have not yet had your birthday, subtract 1 from the displayed age.
Q. How is 1989 displayed — Showa 64 or Heisei 1?
A. 1989 is displayed as "Showa 64 / Heisei 1" showing both eras. Similarly, 2019 is displayed as "Heisei 31 / Reiwa 1".
Q. What is the difference from counting age?
A. This table shows "full age" (standard international method). Counting age starts at 1 at birth and adds 1 on New Year's Day, making it 1-2 years more than full age.
Q. Are there age lookup tables for years other than 2026?
A. Currently only the 2026 edition is available. To calculate individual ages, please use the Age Calculator.
