Age-specific outlook
Life expectancy at age 60
For someone who has already reached 60, the right comparison is conditional survival—not life expectancy at birth.
How to interpret these numbers
The figures above come directly from the SSA 2022 period table. “Expected age” is current age plus average remaining years. A milestone probability divides the number surviving to that milestone by the number surviving to age 60. It describes a hypothetical population under 2022 mortality rates, not one person’s fate.
What the table leaves out
It does not know health status, smoking history, income, geography, genetics, medical care, or future mortality improvements. Use the calculator to explore a carefully bounded lifestyle layer.
