Where 2026 sits
Gen Beta is still being born, so everyone in it counts as early Gen Beta for now. Emerging label. 2025 is the commonly proposed start; there is no agreed end year yet and the name itself may not stick.
Sources that draw the Gen Beta line differently would file 2026 under Generation Alpha. Both readings are defensible; this site uses Pew’s.
Generation Beta is the proposed label for people born from 2025 onward. It is an emerging name rather than an established one: the same demographer who coined Generation Alpha, Mark McCrindle, suggested Beta as the next Greek letter and proposed 2025 to 2039 as the range. No research body has adopted it formally, and Pew Research Center, whose ranges this site uses for every generation from the Greatest to Gen Z, has said nothing about it. The calculator therefore returns Gen Beta for 2025 and later, marks the result “emerging label”, and does not pretend to know the end year. Read the full Generation Beta page.
