Count down to the last day you'll ever have to work
Your retirement
How to use the retirement countdown
Enter your planned retirement date and press Start countdown. The timer counts down in real time — days, hours, minutes, and seconds — until your last day of work. Optionally enter your salary to see how much you've earned today. Bookmark it and check back every morning to watch that number drop.
Will it remember my retirement date?
Check the "Remember my retirement date" box and your date will be saved on your device. Next time you visit, your countdown picks up right where it left off — no re-entering needed.
How do I know when I can retire?
Common retirement ages are 62 (earliest Social Security eligibility), 65-67 (full Social Security benefit depending on birth year), and 59½ (penalty-free 401k withdrawals). Your planned retirement date depends on your savings, expenses, and goals.
What is the earnings tracker?
If you enter your annual salary, the timer shows how much you've earned so far today based on a standard 8-hour workday. A fun way to watch the clock while you count down to freedom.
Can I share this with my spouse?
Absolutely — just share the link to retired-yet.com and have them enter the same date. You can both count down to the big day together.
