How is the retirement date calculated?

The tool adds your desired retirement age (in years) to your birth date, landing on the exact calendar date you will turn that age. If you were born on February 29, retirement falls on March 1 in non-leap years.

What is the default retirement age?

The default is 65, which is the full Social Security retirement age for people born between 1943 and 1954 in the United States. You can change it to any age between 40 and 85.

Does this account for early or late retirement?

Yes. Simply change the retirement age field. Lower values (e.g., 50, 55) model early retirement; higher values (e.g., 67, 70) model delayed retirement.

Is my data stored or sent anywhere?

No. All calculations run entirely in your browser. No personal data is transmitted to any server.

Can I use this for someone else's retirement date?

Yes. Enter any person's birth date and their target retirement age to see their retirement date and countdown.
