Count down to the last day you'll ever have to work
Retired Yet? is a free retirement countdown timer built for people who are serious about reaching the finish line. Enter your planned retirement date and the timer counts down in real time — days, hours, minutes, and seconds — until the last day you'll ever have to clock in.
Retirement is one of the biggest goals most people will ever work toward, but it can feel abstract — especially when it's years away. Having a live countdown makes it concrete. Every morning when you check in and see the number drop, you're reminded that you're making real progress toward something real. That kind of daily reinforcement matters, whether you're 10 years out or 10 months away.
Enter your retirement date and hit the button. The countdown starts immediately. Optionally enter your name and annual salary — your name personalizes the display, and your salary powers a live earnings ticker that shows how much you've earned so far today. Check the "Remember my retirement date" box and your details are saved on your device so you never have to re-enter them.
Anyone counting down to retirement — whether that's the traditional age-65 milestone, an early Social Security date, a pension vesting date, or a FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) target. If you have a date in mind and you want to watch it approach, this tool is for you. We've heard from teachers counting down their final school years, government workers eyeing their pension date, and FIRE followers tracking their independence number.
Retired Yet? is and always will be completely free to use. The site is supported by advertising so we can keep running without charging users. We hope the countdown motivates you every single day — and that when the timer finally hits zero, it feels as good as you've been imagining.
