The middle of the page

Somewhere in these rows most people cross the midpoint of an average life. It is a natural moment to look at the calendar's shape: which chapters took more weeks than expected, and which ones you keep postponing. The weeks are often the most crowded of any decade, so protecting a few for yourself matters.

The averages at 36

The Social Security Administration’s 2023 period life table, the one used in the 2026 Trustees Report, puts average remaining life at exactly 36 at 46.4 years for women and 42.1 years for men. That implies an average age at death of about 82.4 and 78.1 respectively, and a halfway point in remaining life at around age 40.

Of people alive at 36, the same table implies that 66% of women and 53% of men would reach 80, 31% of women and 20% of men would reach 90, and 2.8% of women and 1.0% of men would reach 100. A period table assumes today’s death rates hold for the rest of a life; if health keeps improving, the true figures will be somewhat higher.

Averages describe large groups, not you. Health, habits, income, and family history move individual odds far more than a table can show. For a fuller breakdown by age and sex, with the method explained, see Statistical Life Left.
