Work-to-Retirement Ratio
Shows how far through a planned working life the user is, including years worked, years left, and percentage complete.
What this means
Years worked: 16. Years left: 27. Total planned working years: 43. Adult life work ratio: 64.2% (based on 67-year adult life).
Formula used
Total working years = retirement_age - start_age. Years worked = current_age - start_age. Percent complete = years_worked/total*100.
Worked example
Start 22, current 38, retire 65. Total 43, worked 16, complete 37.2%.
Common questions
Can I use this internationally?
Yes. Currency selectors are display-only unless a tool explicitly says otherwise; no currency conversion is performed.
How exact is the result?
It follows the published Technofatty formula for this tool, but real life can add fees, rules, timing quirks, and context.
Plain-English summary
I'm 37.2% through my planned working life.
This section translates the result into a short, direct takeaway rather than leaving the page at a bare number.
