The more precise answer is: 65 years, 8 months and 26 days. This was calculated from the last day of 1960 (December 31) until today. For example, someone born in 1960 would be 65 or 66 years old. If they were born on or before September 27, they would be 66 years old and if were born after, 65 years old.
1960 was 65 years ago because we are now in 2026.
1960 was 788 months ago because it’s September 2026. The calculation is straightforward: each year has 12 months, 65 x 12 = 780. Then, considering eight months have passed since the beginning of 2026 you have 780 + 8 = 788.
1960 was 3430 weeks ago. The trick I like to use is to first calculate how many days have passed since 1960 and divide that number by 7 (days in a week). In short, 24010 / 7 = 3430.
1960 was 24010 days ago because today is September 27, 2026. Since each year has at least 365 days, we get 65 x 365 = 23725. Next, we need to add the days passed since the beginning of 2026. Then we have 23725 + 269 = 23994. Finally, we take into account the leap years. There were 16 leap years since 1960, so we also have to add 16 more days for a total of 24010.
For a little bit of fun, you can also calculate how many hours it's been since 1960. Take the number of days and multiply it by 24 (hours in a day) 24 x 24010 = 576240. Then add the hours passed since midnight 576240 + 22 = 576262 and there you have it: 1960 was 576262 hours ago.
