1. What is the Days Till Retirement Calculator?

The Days Till Retirement Calculator helps you count down the exact number of days remaining until your planned retirement date. It provides a precise measurement to help with retirement planning and preparation.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple date difference formula:

Where:

• \( Retirement Date \) — Your planned retirement date
• \( Today's Date \) — Current date (defaults to actual today)
