Anders: Late 20's to early 30's
Aveline: Mid-30's
Fenris: Mid 20's
Isabela: Early 30's
Merill: 27, just very unsocialized and niave
Varric: To knowledgable to be younger the 35
I also think Leandra is only in her 40's. Her children are far to young for her to be 50+; by that math, no Malcolm Hawke for her, she'd have been already married off to some noble. Her hair's only greyed from stress, of course.

Why not? My mother had me at 36 - she was well into her 50s by the time I turned 18. Leandra could have run away with Malcolm at a young age but she might not have had children until later. Bartrand refers to her as an old woman so I doubt she's only in her 40s, even with the stress.
As for Hawke, the default male Hawke looks about 40, but I'd put him around 23 at the start of the game.

I believe it's stated somewhere that Malcolm and Leandra left 25 years prior to the beginning of the game. Leandra can't have been older then 20 (logically, her parents, being nobles and all, would have already married off by then). Hawke can't be younger then 18, or older then 25 (seeing as there is no mention of them fleeing with a little tot with them). 20+25=45. It just seems logical, to me.
Bartrand's not the nicest kid on the block, nor the sharpest blade in the rack. It's likely he can't tell. Or he's just being an ass (he's good at that).

What's even stranger is that I've created three Hawke's so far and Carver and Bethany always look the same: I always get the old Carver and the short haired Bethany.
Maybe it has to do with what complexion you choose...because I picked the second from the left each time.
If you choose the same pre-set for Hawke everytime, you'll always get them looking the same.

Reading through everyone else's responses and the evidence as to how old our companions would have to be I'd say:
Aveline: 27-30: I think she is simply a very mature woman and need not be older than 30.
Varric: 30 or above: I definitely think his obvious wisdom backs this up, like most people agree.
Fenris: 23-25: Personally I think Fenris is quite young and his 'worn' out demeaner is simply due to
a hard life.
Isabella: 29-32: Like most people suggest she's accomplished a lot and it seems likely she'd be older.
Merril: 23-26: I do think her naivety in this case is entirely irrelevant and I'm basing it on the fact that she is supposedly around 22, even though I still think she's a little older than we presume.
Anders: 27-30: Similarly to Isabella his range of experiences (such as escaping several times from tower of magi) leads me to believe he's a little older, and his personality seems to suggest this too.
Sebastian: 22-25: Wait why has no one guessed his age? Am I missing something? Anywho I don't really think Sebastion is that old, only because he still kind of seems to be 'finding himself.'
Bethany & Carver: 18: As most evidence proclaims.
Anyway that's my opinion.

Hawke is give or takely 24-25 by the start of act 1. We have the information that Leandra and Malcolm ran away 25 years prior. In Legacy we're told that Leandra was pregnant before they left the Free Marches. Roughly.
Anders is 27-30 when we meet him.
Isabela is 27-30
Aveline is 27-30
Merrill is 19-23
Varric is 30
Fenris is 27-30. I'm convinced he's older. Between years working with Denarius after the ritual, and the need for a body to have stopped growing for it. Plus three years on the run... lots of math.
And we know that the twins are 18 when you reach kirkwall/19 at the start of act 1.
Which means Hawke is roughly 6 to 7 years older then the twins.

You know, the only person who says that Leandra ran away 25 years ago is Gamlen. It's possible that he was rounding up or exagerating slightly. OK, that just means that Hawke is definitely less than 25, since I don't imagine Gamlen would round *down* to emphasize how long Leandra has been gone, but I could see him tacking on a year or two for dramatic effect. So I'd say that Hawke could be 23-25. Hairsplitting, I know.
Edit: Not saying that to be contrary! Just pointing out that people tend to say things like "Maker, that was 25 years ago!" rather than "Maker, that was 23.5 years ago!" I took it to be a kind of verbal shorthand.

From the Dragon Age Wiki
If one is to calculate Sebastian's age from what info he tells about himself, Sebastian says he was thirteen when his grandfather made a promise to give him the Starkhaven Longbow, and he was given to the Chantry some time after this. In Act 3, he states that he hasn't been to Starkhaven in fifteen years. That makes Sebastian's age at least twenty-eight by Act 3.

My thoughts (as of the beginning of Act 1, after 1 year in Kirkwall):
Bethany and Carver: 19
Merrill: 22
Anders: 28
Aveline: 25
Varric: 33
Fenris: 25
Sebastian: 22
Isabela: 29
Hawke: 22, although male Hawke looks older due to his awesome beard. FemHawke passes easily for 22.
Leandra: kind of a tough one, actually. We don't know how old exactly she was when Hawke was born. She could be as young as her early 40s. You could even cut that down to very late 30s if we assume Hawke is between 20 and 22 and she had her first child as a teenager (not uncommon in the medieval era that DA is modeled after). but her appearance always suggested mid-40s to me.

IMO, I think the Wiki is a little off. Sebastian got sent to the Chantry for "drinking and whoring" his life away, and I doubt he did it at age thirteen, probably closer to the seventeen to nineteen range, which would make him thirty-two to thirty-four in Act 3.
That's just my opinion though.

Agreed. I always figured he was at least twenty-eight in Act 1.

Of course, it's really just guesses for some. I do believe Fenris and Varric are the oldest because they seem like they have long and complex pasts. I also believe Aveline is not as old as she acts. And Merrill I always imagined to be of the same age as my Dalish warden except +1-2 years - mostly because in DA:O her character seemed a bit more experienced than Mahariel and Tamlen although of a similar age. As far as Anders and Isabela...who really knows - they could be older than everyone, which would not surprise me either.

I'd agree with all these ages, maybe Merrill a year or two older.....I always got the impression from the Dalish Origin that Merrill was a cohort with Mahriel and Tamlen, but maybe a year or two older.

Since it's mostly just conjecture anyways, I thought I'd offer my thoughts as well! These are how old I think they are after the first year (so this would be the time when Hawke meets the majority of the companions).
*Anders: 30, but perhaps a little younger. He definitely seems older to me (the part of me that loves romancing Anders actually wants him to be significantly older than Hawke...like 10 years or more), but I wouldn't put him over 40 when he blows up the Chantry. I do think that "realistically" though, he would be starting to get a little gray by then.
*Aveline: 32-33, I think she looks/speaks/acts like she's older and I feel like Aveline and Wesley were married for awhile (especially since they spent a lot of their marriage apart). I wouldn't put her over 40 at the end of the game, but she's probably getting there. Also, I agree with what someone else said that they wouldn't make a 20-something captain of the guard. On a side note, I'll bet Donnic is quite a bit younger than she.
*Beth/Carv: 19, since we know they're 18 at the start of the game
*Fenris: 28, I totally pulled that number out of nowhere. I don't think Fenris is a lot older than Hawke because even though he seems more "mature" or experienced, he could very well have been Danarius' slave since he was 12 and fought for his markings when he was 15 or something...I could see that. Only reason I'd put him much older than Hawke in general is that it seems like even guys with super low voices don't usually get THAT low until they're a bit older.
*Hawke: 25-26, since I think we're told that Leandra was preggers when they left Kirkwall...which I'm choosing to think probably was 25 years ago cause head-canon!Gamlen would've been bitter enough to remember the exact date they left.
*Isabella: 28, never thought about it til now, but yeah, I'll bet she's a bit older (but still claims she's 21). Though I don't think she'd be close to 40 by the end of the game...so she's probably not much older.
*Merrill: 25-26, I'd put her close to the Warden's age...which I guess in my mind is close to Hawke's age. Merrill acts all young and naive, but I think that's just cause she actually is dense (I'm not a Merrill fan)...not cause she actually is young.
*Sebastian: 25-27, I like the idea of Sebastian being younger than Hawke, but I don't think it makes sense with what he says. He says in Act 3 that he hasn't been to Starkhaven in 15 years (so 9 years as of the year I'm using for this). I could see him being 16-17 when his parents sent him to the Chantry because any older, you wouldn't think his family would have that kind of control over him anymore. Any younger though and it'd start getting harder to believe that he was whoring around so much if he was only 15.
*Varric: 32, I'm almost 28 now and I couldn't believe Varric is ever younger than I am now at any point in the game. This would put him around 41 when he's talking to the Seeker, which seems about right to me.
Way I understand it, the 10 years that the game covers includes 3 years between Meredith's death and Varric talking to the Seeker....so the last age we see any of the characters (other than Varric) would only be +6-7 years from their starting age, not a full 10 years.
*Anders: 30, but perhaps a little younger. He definitely seems older to me (the part of me that loves romancing Anders actually wants him to be significantly older than Hawke...like 10 years or more), but I wouldn't put him over 40 when he blows up the Chantry.

No, no Merrill is obvious the youger person of the team - maybe 18-20 - because of her personality look these description wrote in Dragon Age Wiki.
When examining the upstairs banister in your Hightown Mansion in Dragon Age II, Hawke notices handprints on the chandelier. Hawke suggests Sandal has been swinging from it. Alternatively, if Merill lives in the estate, Hawke will say that she has been swinging on it. The same happens when examining the bed (Sandal or Merrill jumping on the bed).
EXTRACT from DRAGON AGE WIKI
She is such naive, childlike (and very annoying if you ask me...but I think is just me) and think the world as a Pollyana (some times, mainly in act 1).

Hey I'm 31 and I'd swing from a chandelier if given the chance 
I think we tend to see the characters as closest to our own age.
So to me, I imagine everyone in their late 20s, early 30s at the start of the game. I can just relate to them better that way. Only except, of course, are Hawke and his/her siblings because of their canon ages.

Anders: 24
Sebastian: 25
Fenris: 25
Varric: 30
Aveline: 29
Merrill: 20
Isabela: 29
I've just always imagined Varric, Aveline and Isabela being around the same ages, with Bethany or Carver always the baby of the group. But honestly Hawke's age depends on how you made your character look. I made my Hawke look younger so I assume she is younger.

Of
course, it's really just guesses for some. I do believe Fenris and
Varric are the oldest because they seem like they have long and complex
pasts. I also believe Aveline is not as old as she acts. And Merrill I
always imagined to be of the same age as my Dalish warden except +1-2
years - mostly because in DA:O her character seemed a bit more
experienced than Mahariel and Tamlen although of a similar age. As far
as Anders and Isabela...who really knows - they could be older than
everyone, which would not surprise me either.
I agree with pretty much all of that. Only difference is that I think Fenris may be in his twenties. He's definitely the hardest one to peg, just like Zevran in Origins. I also see Isabella being in her early 30's as well.
