HallsofIvy said:" he goes to primary school, has a job, and lives by himself"
which is meaningless. Where did you get the numbers you used in your "solution"?

This is never mentioned out loud in the show, but it's just a little trivial fact that people yearn to know. Spongebob was born on July 14, according to his driver's license, which you can see in the eps Sleepy Time and No Free Rides.
However, Stephen Hillenburg considers Spongebob and Patrick to be adult characters (for example, obviously they're old enough to live on their own), so they're actually ageless in the show.
