I had remembered that Ed was 15 in the series, then I realized that I had no clue how old Winry was! Does it say anywhere how old she is, or do they just give an estimate?

For what it's worth, there's a light novel / short-story (though not by Arakawa) involving Ed, Al, and Winry at the village school . . . but seeing that they live in the countryside, there might be greater fudging between grade boundaries. – Maroon Nov 16 '15 at 9:10
You can check the FMA Wikia
Her year of birth is mentioned as 1899, which is the same as Edward's, although their exact birthdays are never stated. She is 15-16 years old during the course of the manga/anime, and around 18 post-timeskip.
MyAnimeList lists her exact birthday as June 9th, 1899. However, I don't know if there's any credible source for that.

Arakawa supposedly doesn't really give character birthdays much---this was mentioned in one of the post-chapter inserts I saw (re: Ed's birthday), which other people have also mentioned---so the MAL date probably isn't accurate. – Maroon Nov 16 '15 at 0:29

Interestingly enough, the current revision of the Wikia gives her birthday as July 26 of the same year. I wonder where people are getting these dates. – Maroon Sep 26 '16 at 15:04

1Alright, with some digging around, I've found that there is a probably reference for the 1899 year from the second manga guidebook. (See this forum post and the discussion here.) – Maroon Sep 26 '16 at 15:45
