I believe that Snow was around 14 in Labor of Love. But she has to have aged many years before The Fruit of the Poisonous Tree (as she aged from Bailee Madison to Geniffer Goodwin). Snow was not necessarilly 18. Maybe the age to take the thrown was 21 like in Frozen. Also, Snow could've already been old enough to be queen, but immediately after her father died she was framed by Regina and sent to be killed. "The Evil Queen" likely only takes place a few months later, as Regina is still trying to convince everyone that Snow is the murderer. At that point Belle is living with Rumpelstiltskin. She only lives with him a few months and is still there when Snow meets Charming. I would say that happens about a year after Snow is banished. She gets engaged a few months after meeting Charming. It takes them about 2 years to take back the kingdom. Then 9 months later Emma is born. This timeline is further confirmedby Belle's timeline. Lacey takes place aout 4 years before the curse, based on Roland's age. The Broken Kingdom/Heroes and Villains takes place about 3 years before the curse, 5 years before Season 5. There is a bit off confusion that these events could take place a year apart because Belle is living with Rumpelstiltskin during both of them. Either way, I estimate Belle's stay with Rumpelstiltskin was 3-4 years before the curse, meaning Snow White was banished at most 5 years before the curse. Maybe she was 21, making her 26 at the time of the curse, which is fairly close to Emma's age.
