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.

A 30-year-old in Japan can expect to live to 85.6 years compared to 85 in South Korea, rising to 87.8 and 86.8 at 65, and to 91.1 and 90.7 at 80 — higher than the 85.1 and 84.6 years calculated at birth.

The chart above accounts for remaining lifespan and displays total life expectancy by age and gender in Japan and South Korea.

This chart shows the odds of living to each age from birth. 95.1% of newborns in Japan and 96.1% in South Korea are expected to live past 60, 88.9% and 89% past 70, 75% and 71.9% past 80, and only 41.7% and 37.1% past 90.

For longevity rates starting from a different age, use the calculator provided above.

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.

In Japan, the most common age of death is 91, compared to 89 in South Korea. The median age of death is 88.1 in Japan and 86.8 in South Korea, meaning only half of each cohort is expected to live past that age.

Note that this chart does not show rates per 100,000 population, as those would be skewed by age structure differences and reflect the demographics of Japan and South Korea more than their death rates.
