What is a Generation Calculator?

The Generation Calculator is a simple online tool to assign your year of birth to a commonly used generation cohort (e.g., Baby Boomer, Gen X, Millennial, Gen Z, Gen Alpha). Rather than scout charts, you enter a year and instantly you will have a label from frequently referenced ranges. Great for surveys, audience segmentation, class projects, and demographic study.
