How this works

We start with the average remaining life expectancy for your age and sex from US period life tables, then add or subtract years for lifestyle factors that large population studies link to longer or shorter lives: smoking, activity, sleep, diet, alcohol, weight and social connection. The adjustments are scaled down as you get older, since there's less time for habits to have an effect.

This is for curiosity and motivation only. No calculator can predict when a specific person will die, and this is not medical advice. Talk to a doctor about your health.
