Age at death calculator

What Age Will I Die?

Most people today can expect to live into their 70s or 80s, depending on their country and sex. This age at death calculator gives your own estimate, plus your chance of reaching 70, 80, 90 and 100. For the full breakdown with a countdown and survival curve, use the death clock.

How is my age at death calculated?

We take your age today and add the average number of years people like you still have. “People like you” means the same age, sex and country, adjusted for your BMI and any optional answers. The average comes from a survival curve tuned to UN World Population Prospects 2024.

The headline number is the average. Under it you’ll see the middle half: the ages between which the middle 50% of people with your answers die. A quarter die younger, a quarter older.

What are my chances of reaching 70, 80, 90 or 100?

The bars in your result show these odds. For comparison, here are the model’s figures for healthy, non-smoking 40-year-olds in four countries:

Chance of reaching each age for a 40-year-old, healthy BMI, never smoked.
Group	Reach 70	Reach 80	Reach 90	Reach 100
United States, men	81%	59%	25%	3%
United States, women	86%	68%	36%	7%
United Kingdom, men	84%	66%	35%	6%
United Kingdom, women	88%	71%	41%	10%
India, men	68%	36%	7%	0%
India, women	72%	41%	9%	0%
Pakistan, men	52%	17%	1%	0%
Pakistan, women	63%	29%	3%	0%

Most 40-year-olds reach 70. Reaching 90 is well under a coin flip everywhere, and much rarer in countries with lower life expectancy. Reaching 100 is rare everywhere, but more likely for women.

What age will I die if I was born in 2010, 2012 or 2014?

If you are still in school, here is the good news: the answer is a long way off. The tables below show the expected age at death for people born in each year, using today’s death rates. Healthy BMI and no smoking are assumed.

Two things to keep in mind. These numbers use death rates from today. Medicine and living standards usually improve, so people born recently will probably live longer than shown. And these are averages. Your own habits over the next 60 or 70 years matter far more than any table.

At what age do most people die?

In high-income countries, the most common age at death is now in the mid to late 80s, and many people live into their 90s. Worldwide, life expectancy at birth in 2023 was about 70.5 years for men and 75.9 for women, according to UN World Population Prospects 2024. That average is pulled down by deaths in childhood and young adulthood in some regions. Once people reach adulthood, most live well past the at-birth figure.

Does being a man or a woman change what age I will die?

Yes. Women outlive men in every country in the UN data, by about 5.2 years on average. Part of the gap comes from habits: in many countries men smoke and drink more and take more risks. Part is biological. In our calculator, sex simply chooses which of the two survival curves applies to you. The lifestyle questions then adjust from there.

Why does my estimated age go up as I get older?

Because every year you live, you move past some of the risks that pulled the average down. A newborn’s life expectancy includes everyone who dies young. By the time you are 60, you have already survived those years, so your expected age at death is higher than it was at birth.

In our model a healthy American man has an expected age at death of about 77 at birth, 81 at age 40 and 86 at age 70. You can see this at every age on our life expectancy by age page.

How old will I be when I die compared with my parents?

Your parents’ ages at death give a small hint about your genes, but less than most people think. Studies of twins suggest genes explain only a modest share of how long people live. Habits, income, where you live and access to care matter more. If a close relative died young of a heart condition or cancer, tell your doctor. That is useful for screening, even though this calculator can’t use it.

Working out someone’s age at death?

If you have a birth date and a date of death, for family history or a record, use this:
