A common Gen Z range is 1997 to 2012. Some sources use slightly different cutoff years, so treat generation labels as broad cultural groups rather than exact official categories.
A common Millennial range is 1981 to 1996. People near the edge of a generation may also identify with nearby micro-generations or cultural cohorts.
No. Generation boundaries are commonly used research and culture labels, not legal or official rules. Different researchers and websites may shift the cutoff years slightly.
A generation is commonly around 25 to 30 years when referring to the average gap between a parent and their child. As a cultural label, generations typically span 15 to 18 birth years, such as Gen Z (1997-2012) or Millennials (1981-1996).
If you were born between 1995 and 1999, you may feel traits of both groups. A common dividing line places Gen Z starting in 1997 and Millennials ending in 1996. Enter your birth year above to see which label fits.
From oldest to newest: the Lost Generation, Greatest Generation, Silent Generation, Baby Boomers (1946-1964), Generation X (1965-1980), Millennials (1981-1996), Gen Z (1997-2012), Gen Alpha (2013-2024), and Gen Beta (2025-2039).
Most sources place 1997 as the first year of Generation Z. People born in 1997 are sometimes called Zillennials because they share cultural references with both Gen Z and Millennials.
Generation cutoffs vary by researcher and country. This calculator uses common Western ranges and keeps the language broad for people born near the edges of each group.
