Howmuch money needed for retirement depends a great deal on how long you expect to live. This life expectancy calculator can give an idea of the life expectancy based on current age, smoking habits, gender and several other important lifestyle choices.

Click to proceed to our life expectancy calculation and detailed personalized recommendations. Once you accept the below terms you will have immediate access to the calculator. Before getting your calculated age and specific feedback, you will need to create an account which will allow you to come back and view your results any time.


The Annuity.org Life Expectancy Calculator combines data from the CDC and the SSA with other national databases to provide a more holistic estimate. It also considers personal factors such as your current age, gender, race, lifestyle and family medical history.


By integrating these variables with national and global databases, our calculator provides a more individualized look at your life expectancy. This number gives you a clearer idea of how long you may live and can assist you in making important retirement planning decisions.


Your longevity is one of the most significant unknowable factors that determine how much you need for retirement, how much you can spend, how much time you have to do the things you want to do and more. Estimating your longevity using one of the best life expectancy calculators can be a good way to improve the accuracy of your retirement financial and lifestyle projections.


How long you live represents an immense factor in planning for your retirement. How much you need for retirement is hugely impacted by how long you will live. If you retire at 65 and only live till 68, you will need only a small fraction of what you will need if you were to live till 98.


Lifetime expectancy calculators use data to help assess how long you yourself are going to live. These calculators offer no guarantees of accuracy, but they might help you come up with a life expectancy that is perhaps more realistic for you.


Livingto100: This calculator is based on data from the New England Centenarian Study, the largest study in the world of people who live to 100. The Livingto100 calculator asks you almost 50 questions to determine how long you might live. The particularly nice thing about this detailed life expectancy calculator is that it gives you personalized feedback on each data point about why it is important to your longevity.


Blue Zones Vitality Compass: The Vitality Compass is the life expectancy calculator from Blue Zones. Blue Zones is a publisher dedicated to uncovering the best strategies for longevity based on places in the world where higher percentages of people enjoy longer lives.


LifeSpan Calculator from Northwestern Mutual: Every time you answer one of the 14 questions on this easy to use life expectancy calculator, your estimated longevity is updated. This is great feedback for seeing how lifestyle choices and health factors impact how long you will live.


Medical Life Expectancy Calculators: If you have a specific disease or condition, you might want to use a life expectancy calculator specific to your medical situation. While highly relevant, most of these are actually intended to be used by doctors. However, if applicable, you might try one of the following:


NOTE: All of the above calculators are based on real data. However, it is important to state again that these calculators are not 100 percent accurate. They use averages and historical data to make projections. But remember, you are completely unique and there is no predicting the future.


You may want to create different retirement plans based on an optimistic life expectancy and a pessimistic life expectancy. For example, you might have a solid financial plan that takes you from age 65 until you are 80 years old. And, your back up plan might be to use home equity or some other source of wealth thereafter.


It is important that you assess and refine your retirement plans regularly. Quarterly is recommended, but you should check in anytime your finances and health change. Retirement planning is not something you do once and forget. It should be a part of a routine.


The NewRetirement Planner has been named a best retirement calculator by the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII), Forbes Magazine, The Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, MoneyBoss, CanIRetireyet and many more.

If you are age 73, you may be subject to taking annual withdrawals, known as required minimum distributions (RMDs) from your tax-deferred retirement accounts, such as a traditional IRA. Questions? Call 800-435-4000.


Depending on your date of birth, the IRS requires you to take money out of most types of retirement accounts. These mandatory withdrawals are called required minimum distributions (RMDs). Note: The RMD age changed to 73 when the SECURE Act 2.0 passed in 2022. If you turned 72 before 2023, you may be subject to RMDs. If you turned 72 in 2023, your RMDs will begin at age 73.


The new SECURE Act 2.0 reduces the 50% penalty for missing an RMD effective for RMDs in 2023, it does not impact missed RMDs in 2022. Under SECURE 2.0 if you don't take your RMD by the IRS deadline, a 25% excise tax on insufficient or late RMD withdrawals applies. If the RMD is corrected timely, the penalty can be reduced down to 10%. Follow the IRS guidelines and consult your tax advisor.




Because the SECURE Act changed the laws regarding inherited IRAs, people will generally fall under one of two rules. Those under the old rules may be required to take RMDs from inherited IRAs. Those under the new 10-year rule may or may not have an annual RMD. We recommend consulting with your tax or financial advisor, as these new rules can be complex. Learn more about beneficiary types and distribution options.


If the IRA owner passed away before 2020, you will likely fall under the old distribution rules. Certain eligible designated beneficiaries can also fall under the old distribution rules. We recommend consulting with your tax or financial advisor to determine which distribution rules apply in your situation. Learn more about beneficiary types and distribution options.


If the original account owner died after 2019 and you (as an individual) do not meet the requirements to be considered an eligible designated beneficiary, you will generally be considered a designated beneficiary and be subject to the 10-year distribution rules. Under this rule, all assets in the account need to be distributed no later than the end of the 10th year from when the original account owner died. Furthermore, if the original account owner was already required to take RMDs at the time of their death, the designated beneficiary will also need to take RMDs during the 10-year period. If the decedent died before RMDs were required to begin, no RMDs are required during the 10-year period. If you fail to distribute all of the assets before the end of the 10th year, those assets will be subject to the RMD excise tax of 25% (for RMDs due after 2022).


The amount of your RMD is usually determined by the fair market value (FMV) of your IRA as of December 31 of the previous year, factored by your age and your life expectancy using the uniform life expectancy method. Sometimes FMV and RMD calculations need to be adjusted after December 31. If you had a transfer or rollover to your Schwab retirement account(s), a conversion from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA and back, or any correction for security price after year-end, please call us at 877-298-8010 so we can recalculate your RMD.


Yes, you can withdraw more than the RMD from your IRAs without IRS penalty. Remember, these withdrawals will generally be taxable as ordinary income and won't satisfy your RMD requirements in future years. We recommend consulting with your tax advisor.


The total amount of your RMD is generally taxed as ordinary income at your personal federal income tax rate. State taxes may also apply. Your tax liability and any tax withholding you elect are based on your home (legal) address.


No, RMDs can't be reinvested back into an IRA or 401(k), or rolled into another tax-favored retirement account. So, if you don't need it for living expenses, what can you do? Invest it in a taxable brokerage account. Save it in a bank account. Donate to a charity. Contact us for ideas suited to your needs.
