Retirement Age Calculator
Enter your date of birth and target retirement age to get your estimated retirement date, a live countdown, and related figures.
Why this calculator exists
Retirement age is usually described as a single number, but few people know their exact retirement date without working out the arithmetic themselves. This calculator turns a date of birth and a target retirement age into a precise date, a live countdown, and a small set of related figures — years remaining, share of an average lifespan lived so far, and the day of the week retirement falls on.
It is meant as a quick reference point for financial and career planning, not a substitute for advice from a pension provider or financial advisor.
