How to Calculate Birth Year from Age and Birthday Boundary

When determining someone's birth year from their stated age, people often forget that one age number spans across two possible calendar years depending on whether the individual's annual birthday has occurred yet:

Birthday Already Passed: $\text{Birth Year} = \text{Current Year} - \text{Age}$.
Birthday Not Yet Passed: $\text{Birth Year} = \text{Current Year} - \text{Age} - 1$.
