Life expectancy by country: Calculator & Charts (1950-2026)

In 2026, the world's average life expectancy at birth is 73.8 years — 71.2 for men and 76.4 for women.

The dip in global 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, dragging 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 lives. It's a snapshot reflecting mortality rates in a given year that does not account for any future changes in those 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.

Life expectancy is often mistaken for the average lifespan of an adult. However, an adult has already survived the causes of early-age mortality and can expect to live longer than the figure calculated at birth.

Total world mean life expectancy at age 65 is 82.9 years, at 70 it's 84.5, at 75 it's 86.3, and at 80 it's 88.5 — higher than the 73.8 years calculated at birth.

The chart above accounts for remaining lifespan and displays the population-weighted mean life expectancy by age and gender.

This chart displays the probability of dying at any given age, as 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 2.59% in the birth year, 0.16% at age 30, 1.03% at 60, and 5.86% at 80.

Aging is often defined as the increasing probability of death with age. If a 20-year-old never aged and faced the same risk of dying every year, their life expectancy would be 772 years — 628 for males and 1,021 for females.

Most deaths in the World occur at age 85 for both sexes combined, at 83 for males and 87 for females. The median age of death as indicated by vertical lines: 76.9 for men, 82.2 for women, and 79.6 combined — only half of each cohort is expected to live past that age.

This chart shows the number of deaths by age up to 100 for 3 cohorts of 100,000 newborns each — male, female, and both combined — illustrating how expected mortality is distributed throughout life.

Note that this chart does not show rates per 100,000 population, as those would be skewed by age structure and reflect the World's demographics more than its death rate.

Life expectancy correlations: wealth and health expenditure

While correlation does not imply causation, the charts below show the relationship 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.

Life expectancy and GDP per capita.

Correlation coefficient: 0.67 (95% Confidence Internal [CI] 0.57 to 0.74).
