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.
Vatican 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 the Vatican, 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: 54.1 Years
Mean expected age of death: 84.1 Years
Median expected age of death: 85.7 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 the Vatican, total life expectancy is 85.9 years at age 65, 86.8 at 70, 88.1 at 75, and 89.8 years at 80 — significantly higher than the 83.3 years calculated at birth.

Probability of survival to age graph
The chart below shows the odds of living to all ages starting from birth: 95.3% of the newborn cohort in the Vatican are expected to survive to at least 60 years old, 88.6% will live to 70 years or older, 69.6% to 80+ years, and 32% will live past 90 years old.

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 Vatican'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.
