What expression will give age in years in QGIS?

Multi tool use
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I have the date at which a pipe was laid. I want to create a field giving the age of the pipe in years. How do I do this in QGIS?

Or use the age
function
year(age(now() ,"yourdatefield"))
Sometimes I get comfortable using some function and just forget that there might be another one that saves some time... :P

From the field calculator, this expression could do the trick:
year(now()) - year('the laying date')
Check if the date format will work, but aside from that, it should be pretty easy. The laying date can be replaced by a field value.
