We present the stellar parameters of the individual components of the two old close binary systems HIP 14075 and HIP 14230 using synthetic photometric analysis. These parameters are accurately calculated based on the best match between the synthetic photometric results within three different photometric systems with the observed photometry of the entire system. From the synthetic photometry, we derive the masses and radii of HIP 14075 as M A = 0.99 ± 0.19 M ⊙ , R A = 0.877 ± 0.08 R ⊙ for the primary and M B = 0.96 ± 0.15 M ⊙ , R B = 0.821 ± 0.07 R ⊙ for the secondary, and of HIP 14230 as M A = 1.18 ± 0.22 M ⊙ , R A = 1.234 ± 0.05 R ⊙ for the primary and M B = 0.84 ± 0.12 M ⊙ , R B = 0.820 ± 0.05 R ⊙ for the secondary. Both systems depend on Gaia parallaxes. Based on the positions of the components of the two systems on a theoretical Hertzsprung–Russell diagram, we find that the age of HIP 14075 is 11.5 ± 2.0  Gyr and of HIP 14230 is 3.5 ± 1.5  Gyr. Our analysis reveals that both systems are old close binary systems ( ≈ > 4 Gyr). Finally, the positions of the components of both the systems on the stellar evolutionary tracks and isochrones are discussed.
