Life expectancy by country & Calculator based on current age

Updated on by Georank team

In 2025, the world's average life expectancy at birth is 73.5 years, 70.9 years for men and 76.2 years for women.

The dip in world life expectancy around 1960 was due to China’s Great Famine (1959–1961), triggered by the Great Leap Forward policies, poor weather, and agricultural mismanagement. The famine caused 15–30 million deaths and dragged down the global average despite continued improvements elsewhere.

Life expectancy is the average age of death for a hypothetical cohort of newborns if they experienced the age-specific mortality rates of one particular year throughout their entire life. It is a snapshot reflecting mortality rates at a given year that does not account for any future changes in these rates.

Healthy life expectancy at birth, defined by the World Health Organization as the average number of years a person can expect to live in full health, is 61.2 years for men and 63 for women, with a combined average of 62.1 years. People who reach 60 can expect an additional 14 healthy years, 13.3 for males and 14.7 for females.

World life expectancy calculator

This life expectancy calculator assesses the odds of living to 100, 95, 90, and below based on the current age for both males and females on average across the globe, also providing mean and median age of death. The calculations are based on the 2025 life tables (actuarial tables) from the UN World Population Prospects.

Remaining life expectancy by current age chart

Life expectancy is often mistaken for the average lifespan of an adult. An adult has already survived early-age mortality causes and is expected to have a longer lifespan than calculated from birth.

Total world mean life expectancy at age 65 is 82.8 years, at 70 it's 84.4 years, at 75 it's 86.2 years, and at 80 it's 88.5 years — significantly higher than the 73.5 years calculated at birth.

The chart and table below account for the remaining lifespan based on current age and display total life expectancy by age and gender.

Probability of survival to age chart

The graph below shows global odds of living to all ages starting from birth: 82.9% of the newborn cohort are expected to survive to at least 60 years old, 70.6% will live to 70 years or older, 48.3% to 80+ years, and 17.8% will live past 90 years old.

For longevity rates starting from an age other than 0, use the probability of survival to an age calculator provided above.

Odds of dying by age chart

Mortality rates vary throughout a lifetime. The world's average risk of dying is lowest at age 12 and increases afterward. The annual chance of dying is 2.64% in the birth year, 0.16% at age 30, 1.05% at 60, and 6.01% at 80.

Below is a graph displaying global probabilities of dying at any given age.

Death rate by age chart

Most deaths in the World occur at age 85 for both sexes combined, at 83 for males and 86 for females. The median age of death as indicated by vertical lines: 76.7 for men, 82 for women, and 79.4 combined — only half of the cohort is expected to live past that age.

The chart above shows the number of deaths by age and gender per a 100,000 cohort of newborns, illustrating the distribution of expected mortality throughout life.

Note that the graph above does not represent rates per 100,000 population, as this would be skewed by age distribution and reveal more about the World's demographics than the death rate. It also does not represent rates per 100,000 people in an age group, as this would be just the probability of death.

Life expectancy vs wealth and health expenditure correlations

With a reminder that correlation does not imply causation, these are the correlations between life expectancy and GDP per capita, and between life expectancy and government health expenditure per person, both in nominal terms and adjusted for purchasing power parity. The closer the correlation coefficient is to ±1, the stronger the correlation.
