What is the standard retirement age?

In the US, full retirement age for Social Security is 66-67 depending on birth year. Many people retire earlier (62+) with reduced benefits, or later (70+) for maximum benefits. The calculator works with any retirement age you choose.

How are work days calculated?

The calculator estimates work days by assuming 260 work days per year (52 weeks × 5 days minus typical holidays). This gives you an approximate count of how many actual working days remain until retirement.

Can I retire before the standard age?

Yes, early retirement is possible but may affect Social Security benefits. The FIRE movement (Financial Independence, Retire Early) typically targets retirement in the 40s or 50s. Enter your target age to see your personal countdown.
