First get the current year from the date, like so :

NSDate *currentDate = [NSDate date];
NSCalendar* calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSDateComponents* components = [calendar     components:NSYearCalendarUnit|NSMonthCalendarUnit|NSDayCalendarUnit fromDate:currentDate]; // Get necessary date components

NSInteger year = [components year];

Then, to get the start year of the decade,

NSInteger firstYearOfTheDecade = year - (year % 10); //Add 1 to this if you want to start from x1

and for the last year

NSInteger lastYearOfTheDecade = firstYearOfTheDecade + 9;
