How Much of Your Life Have You Lived?
Enter your birth date and a lifespan assumption to estimate what percentage of an average lifetime you've already lived — plus your age in years, days, and an approximate amount of time remaining.

💡 Change the lifespan assumption from 75 to 90 years to see how the percentage shifts. For the exact number of days you've lived, try the Age in Days calculator. To see how many days remain, use the Days Left calculator.
How This Calculator Works
This page takes your date of birth, calculates your current age, and compares it with a selected average lifespan assumption. The result is shown as a life lived percentage.
The basic formula is simple:
- Age today ÷ chosen lifespan = life lived percentage
- Remaining years = chosen lifespan − current age
- Remaining days = remaining years × 365.25 (approximate)
According to World Health Organization life expectancy data, global average life expectancy is approximately 73 years, though this varies significantly by country — from under 60 in some regions to over 84 in Japan and Switzerland.
