Life Expectancy CalculatorHow much you need for retirement depends a great deal on how long you expect to live. This calculator can give you an idea of your life expectancy based on your current age, smoking habits, gender and several other important lifestyle choices.
Definitions

- Your current age.
- Gender
- Males generally have shorter life expectancies than females. This calculator uses separate mortality tables depending on your gender.

- Weight & Height
- Being overweight can reduce your life expectancy. Your target weight is determined by your height and weight, exceeding that weight reduces your life expectancy.
- Drinking alcohol
- Life style choices such as drinking alcohol can reduce your life expectancy.
- Driving
- Dangerous driving habits can indicate a greater risk of accidents and death. We use the number of driving violations to help determine this risk.
