formula field to calculate approximate Age?

I have a pick list called "Year" which referes to person Year of birth and I want to calculate the approximate age in years and display in a text field so how do write a formula field to get the Approx Age of the person. 

Thanks

Sorry, try this instead:

TEXT(YEAR(TODAY() ) - VALUE(TEXT( Year__c )))

I haven't tested it but give this one a shot:

TEXT(YEAR(TODAY() ) - TEXT( Year__c ))
