Random Age Generator: A Life Stage for Every Age From 0 to 100
One press draws an age from 0 to 100 and names its life stage, its decade word and every official age band that covers it.
Random Age Generator: A Life Stage for Every Age From 0 to 100: how it works
This random age generator draws a whole number of years from 0 to 100. Under it comes what the age means: its life stage, built from World Health Organization and United Nations cut-offs, its decade name and the other official bands that cover it. Narrow the draw by life stage or by age.
Draw an age for a character or a cast
Press New age and read the line under it: 45 years old, Adult (25 to 59), quadragenarian, working age. For a cast, tap 5 or 10 and the age randomizer deals that many. Draws are independent, so two characters can share an age. Youngest and Oldest fence the draw: 18 and up with Up to 39 leaves ages 18 to 39.
Why one age fits two birth years
It depends on whether this year's birthday has come yet. Counted on September 18, 2026, a 45-year-old was born in 1981 if it has and in 1980 if it has not. By that date 261 of the year's 365 days are gone, so 1981 is right for about 7 people in 10.
Tips
Official bands overlap. A 16-year-old is a child under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, an adolescent to the WHO and a youth in UN statistics.
An even draw skews old: 41 of the 101 ages are 60 or over, yet the WHO expects 1 person in 6 to be that old by 2030. Tap Up to 59 to keep a cast young.
Each adult decade has a Latin name: a 45-year-old is a quadragenarian, an 85-year-old an octogenarian. The oldest verified age is 122: Jeanne Calment of France, in 1997.
Questions and answers
What life stages does the age randomizer use?
Nine that never overlap: Infant (0), Young child (1 to 4), Older child (5 to 9), Adolescent (10 to 19), Young adult (20 to 24), Adult (25 to 59), Older adult (60 to 79), Aged 80 or over, and Centenarian. The edges follow WHO and UN definitions, except 25 to 59, which no agency names.
At what age does someone count as a senior?
There is no single line. The United Nations counts an older person from 60, and the Older adult stage starts there. UN population forecasts use 65, the year after the World Bank's working-age band of 15 to 64 ends. For that line, tap 65 and up under Youngest.
Is age counted the same way everywhere?
No. In traditional East Asian age reckoning a baby is 1 at birth and everyone gains a year at New Year, so the count runs one or two years ahead of the age drawn here. South Korea's government switched to the international system on June 28, 2023.

How this list was compiled: The 101 whole ages from 0 to 100, a closed set. The line under each age is worked out from 28 age bands, each checked on 2026-09-18 against the page named here. Life stages are this site's own arrangement of World Health Organization and United Nations cut-offs into nine bands that do not overlap, so every age has exactly one; the band 25 to 59 is derived, because no agency names it, and 'aged 80 or over' stops at 99 here only so that centenarian can follow it. World Health Organization: infant, before the first birthday (https://www.who.int/data/gho/indicator-metadata-registry/imr-details/1 ); under-five, ages 0 to 4 (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/child-mortality-under-5-years ); older children 5 to 9 and young adolescents 10 to 14 (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/older-children-and-young-adolescent-mortality-(5-to-14-years )); adolescence, ages 10 to 19 (https://www.who.int/health-topics/adolescent-health ); young adults 20 to 24, and the joint band 10 to 24 (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/adolescents-health-risks-and-solutions ); 60 years or over and 80 years or older (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/ageing-and-health ). The WHO also calls the first 28 days of life the newborn period (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/newborn-mortality ); the age in years is still 0. United Nations: a child is every person below eighteen, Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 1, text hosted by UNICEF (https://www.unicef.org/child-rights-convention/convention-text , because ohchr.org refuses automated requests); youth, ages 15 to 24 (https://www.un.org/en/global-issues/youth ); older person, over 60, as stated by UNHCR (https://emergency.unhcr.org/protection/persons-risk/older-persons ); 65 and over in population forecasts (https://www.un.org/en/global-issues/ageing ). World Bank working-age population, ages 15 to 64 (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.POP.DPND ). Teenager, ages 13 to 19: https://www.etymonline.com/word/teens . Centenarian and supercentenarian (110 and up): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centenarian and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercentenarian . Decade names from vicenarian (20 to 29) to nonagenarian (90 to 99): the Wiktionary entry for each word, such as https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/quadragenarian . Each age is drawn in your browser with equal chance, and the same age can come up twice. Licence: own work
