A boy becomes a bar mitzvah on his 13th birthday.
Please note that many people incorrectly believe that it is the ceremony that makes a boy a bar mitzvah (son of the mitzvot). In truth, no ceremony is technically needed for the boy to now be required to fulfill the mitzvot; and the lavish ceremony that many people have these days to celebrate the bar mitzvah is a modern practice that didn't become popular until well into the 1900's. In the past, the boy would simply be called up to read from the Torah on his 13th birthday.
