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.

Palau 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 in Palau, 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.


Mean remaining life expectancy: 42.4 Years

Mean expected age of death: 72.4 Years

Remaining life expectancy by current age

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.

In Palau, total life expectancy is 78.9 years at age 65, 80.9 at 70, 83.3 at 75, and 86.2 years at 80 — significantly higher than the 69.5 years calculated at birth.

The chart and table below account for the remaining lifespan and display total life expectancy by age and gender in Palau.

Probability of survival to age graph

The chart below shows the odds of living to all ages starting from birth: 78.3% of the newborn cohort in Palau are expected to survive to at least 60 years old, 59.8% will live to 70 years or older, 31% to 80+ years, and 6.21% 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. In Palau, the risk of dying is lowest at age 4 and increases afterward. The annual chance of dying is 1.73% in the birth year, 0.2% at age 30, 1.78% at 60, and 9.92% at 80.

Below is a graph displaying the probabilities of dying in Palau at any given age.

Death rate by age in Palau

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

In Palau, most deaths occur at age 78 for both sexes combined, at 76 for males, and 81 for females. The median age of death is indicated by vertical lines: 71.4 for men, 76.6 for women, and 73.8 combined — only half of the cohort is expected to live past that age.

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 Palau'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.
