|---|---|---|
| 0 | 76.0 · 76 | 81.2 · 81 |
| 10 | 66.6 · 77 | 71.7 · 82 |
| 20 | 56.9 · 77 | 61.9 · 82 |

Period life expectancy computed by Odainn from official CDC death and population statistics (2023–2024) — it reproduces the United States' official life table within half a year (methodology). It assumes today's death rates continue; with medical progress, real lifespans of younger people will likely be longer. Other countries: Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, all.
