Work out life expectancy remaining instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Life expectancy at birth understates the remaining years of someone already middle-aged, because they have survived the risks of earlier life. This estimate applies a sex adjustment and a survivorship uplift that grows with age - which is why a 45 year old typically has more remaining years than a naive subtraction suggests.
Cohort expectancy
adjusted = life expectancy at birth x sex factor
Remaining years
remaining = adjusted - current age + survivorship uplift
This is a crude statistical projection from population averages, not a prediction about any individual. Actual lifespan depends on genetics, health, behaviour and circumstance. It is not medical advice and should not inform health or financial decisions without professional guidance.
Because infant and early-adult mortality is already behind you. Period life tables show remaining expectancy rising with attained age.
No. It is a population average with enormous individual variance, and it ignores every personal health factor.
