About 15-16

(Added this is an American Protestant viewpoint. Other Christian religions place Mary's age higher. Some teach the age was as high as 24. For example the Oriental Orthodoxy teaches that Mary spent 8 to 10 years in devotion to God in something similar to a convent of today. This devotion was made prior to her marriage to Joseph but after she reached the age she became fertile. Thus they believe Mary had to be at least 22 before she gave birth).
