Life expectancy calculator

Look up remaining life expectancy by age, sex, and population group from the CDC United States Life Tables, 2024 (National Vital Statistics Reports, Vol. 75, No. 5). Built for either side of a matter; the figures are period-life-table population averages, not a prediction for any individual.

Individual profile

Age entry

Age (years)Decimals are allowed (for example 65.5). Ages of 100 or more use the highest published row.SexPopulation group

Sex and population group select the matching CDC source table. The 2024 period life tables cover the total population and five race and Hispanic-origin groups; they are one input to a case-specific analysis, not a substitute for one.

As of October 17, 2026, the latest notice from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on the life table for its workers' compensation Medicare set-aside life expectancy calculations (CMS, September 11, 2025) names the 2023 table for the total population, so a set-aside figure can differ from the one shown here.

Remaining life expectancy

41.0 years

Expected age reached 81.0

Under the 2024 period life table, a person at age 40 has, on average, about 41.0 more years of life, reaching about age 81.0. This is a statistical average across the population, not a prediction for any individual.

Educational tool only - not an expert opinion, report, or testimony. Life expectancies are period-life-table population averages from CDC data and are not a prediction for any individual; a case-specific analysis prepared for either plaintiff or defense may differ materially.
