There's no mathematical formula to Marvel time. The characters are as old as the comics say they are at any given time. Peter is a young adult.

I don't play the compression game, myself. To me, it should always be 10 years since the founding events of Marvel comics. (Parker getting bitten, Tony Stark building his armor in a cave with a box of scraps, the Reed Richards undershielding his spaceship, etc) The reason being ten years is the perfect amount of time, since it's long enough for many adventures, but small enough that you can suspend disbelief about no one aging much. Past 10 years even people with great genetics who take excellent care of themselves are visibly older.
I mean, if we use Normie it still doesn't make sense, 'cause he was born in the 80's, now he looks like an early teen, so it means Peter should be on his 30's now (Even if we say Harry was 20 when Normie was born, that still means both him and Peter should be 30), but Marvel says he's mid-20's now, so that doesn't make sense, unless Harry had a kid when he was 13 lol.
Hell, another one on Spidey's supporting cast where this makes no sense is Kristy, since she was 13 in ASM in the 90's, and when Conway brought her back, she was like, 18, she aged 5 years while Peter didn't age.
I used Kitty as an example 'cause she was around back in the times Marvel was bitchy about keeping things in continuity, and Kitty was allowed to speedrun her aging anyways, and Jim Shooter hasn't been an EiC in a very long time, so yeah, we'll just get more ridiculous aging now lol.
According to current Marvel, you already are .
Don't remind me, new Peter's face looks so odd... Then again, the older one ironically made him look too old, you could say he looks like he's 30 lol.
Well, Marvel officially tends to say it's been 13/14/15 years since F4's debut, so logically Peter should be late 20's at least, but even if math says that 15+13 = 28, Marvel says it equals 25 lol.
And honestly, trying to say everything happened in 10 years is iffy, because Marvel's first 4 years or so advanced in real time, so it'd mean the vast majority of Marvel's stories happened in 6 years in-universe.
It's still ridiculous regardless if it's 15 years, since it'd mean most of the stories happened in 11 years, but at least it'd be slightly less so.

Yeah - any more major timeskips and Miles and Kamala will need to graduate high school. Both of them have had family members go through a pregnancy since Secret Wars, so that's at least a year there. Kamala debuted at 16, and SW caused an eight month timeskip (causing Squirrel Girl to go from first year to second year at university) so Kamala and Miles ought to both be in their senior year by now.
He went from 13-16 before SW. And yes, should be 18 now.
Peter should be 29-30.
