Life Expectancy in the United States

According to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the average life expectancy at birth in the United States is 77.5 years (74.8 years for males and 80.2 years for females).

US Male Baseline

74.8 Years

US Female Baseline

80.2 Years

The US averages sit slightly lower than other comparable developed nations (like Germany or Australia) due to socioeconomic factors, cardiovascular disease rates, and historical differences in national health infrastructure. However, personal lifestyle choices play an incredibly significant role in offsetting these baseline averages.


US Social Security Life Tables

An important distinction when assessing your "US death date" is that your remaining life expectancy changes as you age. While life expectancy at birth is 77.5 years, a person who has successfully reached 65 has survived initial childhood and early adult risks. According to the US Social Security Administration (SSA) actuarial tables, a 65-year-old American male can expect to live to an average of 81.9, and a 65-year-old female to 84.8. Our engine accounts for this actuarial adjustment by preventing the remaining years from sinking below a statistical baseline.
