How long until you retire at 68?
Enter your date of birth to see the exact date you turn 68, how far away it is in days, weeks and months, and roughly how many working days remain.
What date will I turn 68?
Your 68th birthday falls on the same calendar date as your birth, 68 years later. The only thing that changes is the weekday, which moves forward by one each year and by two across a leap year. Over 68 years that accumulates, which is why the calculator gives the weekday as well as the date.
How many working days until retirement?
The working day figure above counts weekdays only, excluding Saturdays and Sundays. It does not subtract public holidays or leave, both of which vary by country and employer, so treat it as an upper bound on working days rather than an exact count. For a precise working day count over a shorter span, use the business day calculator.
Why do people ask about retiring at 68?
A planning figure rather than a current threshold. The UK state pension age is legislated to rise to 68, with the timing subject to review, so it matters mainly to younger workers.
Retirement ages differ by country, by scheme and by birth year, and several have been rising. This page does the calendar arithmetic only. Before relying on 68 as your date, check the rules that actually apply to your pension and your birth year, because the figure above is a date, not an entitlement.
