Methodology

How the calculator works

A plain-English explanation of the data, assumptions and formulas behind My Remaining.

The short version

My Remaining starts with broad public-average life expectancy values, subtracts your current age, then converts time ahead into years, weekends, summers, birthdays, Life Squares and free-time estimates.

Data sources

The prototype dataset may use or reference population-level sources such as the World Bank, WHO, ONS, CDC, Eurostat and national statistical datasets. Different sources can publish different averages and update cycles.

Privacy and limits

The calculator runs locally in your browser. Results are estimates, not predictions, and should not be used for serious medical, financial or legal decisions.
